Pumpkin Pie-Bobby Flay Style



With Halloween coming in just a few days, and Thanksgiving just a few weeks away, it's time to start thinking about pumpkin pie.  And this being Tonia's Kitchen, you know we couldn't leave a tradition well enough alone.  Famed Food Network chef Bobby Flay stopped by to tell Tonia about his delicious take on the pie, specifically Pumpkin Pie with cinnamon crunch, with bourbon-added whipped cream and maple syrup.  It's enough to make me very hungry!

Bobby, who wrote Bobby Flay's Throwdown says he starts the pie with a crust made out of graham cracker crumbs, butter, cinnamon and eggs.  He then fills the pie with pumpkin puree, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, sugar, eggs and cream.  Chef Bobby bakes it slowly, then adds the crunch.  That's made out of flour, rolled oats, cinnamon sugar and butter.  That goes on top of the pie filling.  Then take whipped cream mixed with bourbon and maple syrup and top it all off!   The pie could make you scream Hey Bobby Flay!
