You could always switch out walnuts for the pecans if you love walnuts. We have always loved pecans with pumpkin. I think you could also use honey in place of the maple syrup.

This pie is easy to make and there have been times when I have been in a hurry I didn’t even use the mixer to mix it up, just used a spoon and made sure it mixed well.

Combine pumpkin, salt, milk, eggs in a bowl and mix well with mixer. Add sugar, spices and vanilla and continue to mix.
