: Wendy, I make my Pumpkin pie crustless too. I also have a recipe that I put

One of my typos. I do make pumpkin custard, but for thanksgiving, when I
have many to feed traditionally, I make a nUt crust with fod processed
walnuts adn splenda, no extra butter or oil neded adn just pat it into th
epie pan ad =bake for about 10-15 mins before using with the pumplin ctuff
and bake again.
