1 pie crust store bought or home made
2 medium size onions, sliced thin
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon agave nectar
1 tablespoon water
1/8 teaspoon salt to taste
2 eggs
3 egg whites
1/4 salt
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 15 oz can pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling!)
1 cup plain 2% greek yogurt
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon sumac or lemon pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon brown sugar

1
Preheat oven to 350F
2
Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a round disk, big enough to fit a non-stick 11?x1.5? with removable bottom tart pan (approximately 13 inches).
3
Roll dough over rolling pin and carefully unroll it onto the tart pan. Press it evenly with your fingers so the dough comes up the sides of the pan.
4
Prick the bottom and sides with a fork and bake for 12-15 minutes. Set aside to cool
5
In the meantime, saute the onions in olive oil in a large skillet at medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar, agave and water. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes. Set aside
6
Beat eggs and egg whites in a large bowl. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, add pumpkin puree and all the spices and mix well.
7
Whisk in greek yogurt until well incorporated. Add caramelized onions and mix well.
8
To prepare the walnut topping, combine walnuts, spices and brown sugar in a medium bowl and mix well so the walnuts are well coated with the spices
9
Pour pumpkin filling into pie crust, top with walnuts and bake at 350F for 45-50 minutes

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
