Ingredients
- 1 Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust
- 1 cup solid pack 100% pumpkin (pumpkin puree)
- 1 cup apple butter
- ¼ cup packed dark brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup evaporated milk
Streusel Topping:
- 3 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup flour
- ½ cup dark brown sugar

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

- For streusel topping, mix brown sugar and flour. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Stir in chopped pecans and set aside.
- Pour pie filling into crust-lined pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a knife inserted two inches from center comes out clean.
