Pumpkin Streusel

This is a great alternative to traditional pumpkin pie. If you are not wanting to fool with crust spray 6 ramekins with Pam and fill each one 3/4 full with the pumping pie recipe I posted on Nov 16th (Not Your Mothers Pumpkin Pie) Bake for 15-20 min or until sides appear to be firm and then sprinkle on the top of each ramekin the following:

Streusel

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

1/4 cup flour

1/2 teas ground cinnamon

1/4 teas ground ginger

1/4 cup cold butter

1/2 cup chopped pecans (opt)

Combine brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and ginger. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in pecans if desired. Sprinkle over pumpkin and continue to bake for about 10-13 min or until knife inserted in middle comes out clean and pumpkin is set.
