How to Make Gingersnap Pumpkin Pie

You'll find the full, step-by-step recipe below — but here's a brief preview of what you can expect when you make this top-rated pumpkin pie with gingernap crust:

1. Make the crust: Mix the cookie crumbs, butter, and sugar in a bowl until the mixture is well-combined.
2. Par-bake the crust: Press the cookie crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a pie pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about five minutes.

Since pumpkin pie is egg-rich, it shouldn't be left at room temperature for more than two hours. Loosely wrap the cooled pie in storage wrap, then store it in the refrigerator for up to four days.

Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise

"I thought this pie recipe was great," says JEKURS. "Didn't have quite enough gingersnap crumbs so added some vanilla wafer crumbs with it and it worked fine. I certainly will make it again."

"I love anything with molasses, and the ginger cookie crust was a perfect compliment to the pumpkin," raves Ellen. "You'll be disappointed if you're expecting a drier, traditional crust: The moisture from the pumpkin oozes nicely into the ginger cookie to make a moist, very slightly chewy pie bottom."

"Everyone loved this pumpkin pie, even those who aren't usually pumpkin pie fans," says PATRICIA K. "The gingersnap crust not only tasted good but was a nice departure from the hassles of traditional pie crust."
