Make the first two steps several days ahead if you want:
Microwave 1 Sugar/Pie pumpkin for 3 minutes. Split in half to seed and remove stem. Microwave the 2 halves upside down for another 8-10 minutes, until soft and skin peeling off. Remove the skin, and put pulp in a bowl with a 1/2 tsp. ground cardomom and a 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper. Mash with a potato ricer, or mash with a food processor.
Peel and core 3-4 medium apples. Granny Smiths are great! Cut into small chunks, and microwave in covered dish for 10 minutes until very soft. Mash with potato ricer or food processor.
If you are not using the pumpkin or applesauce right away, store in refridgerator in covered bowls.
To make the pie:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Cream 4 large eggs (brown, organic, free-range if possible), 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. ground cloves, and 1/2-3/4 C. honey (to taste). Add 2 1/2 C. of the prepared pumpkin pulp and 1 1/2 C. of the prepared applesauce to the egg mixture.
Sprinkle 1/4 C. chopped pecans over the bottom of two pre-made 9"graham cracker crusts. (You can make your own ahead of time, or buy Keebler's or some other brand.) Pour the pumpkin mixture into the two shells. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hr. or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool. Cut into 8-10 equal portions per pie.
Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. YUM!
