    1.5 unpacked brown sugar
    1 tsp salt
    1 tsp baking powder
    1 tsp baking soda

Tips

Easy to make this vegan: just use margarine instead of butter.


Directions

Preheat oven to 375.

Put all ingredients except the walnuts in a large bowl, mix with your fingertips or a pastry cutter until well combined (mixture will be crumbly)

Press half the crust mixture into a pan lined with parchment paper. Bake 12 to 15 minutes.

Mix filling; spread evenly over the bottom crust.

Mix walnuts into the remaining crust. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the pumpkin, pressing down gently when finished.

Bake for another 30-40 minutes.

Allow to cool completely before cutting.
