Chill prepared crust: Place the prepared crust in the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes. This helps to ensure a flaky and crisp crust.

Prepare filling: In a food processor or blender, combine the pumpkin puree, egg, dark brown sugar, applesauce, cinnamon, ground ginger, and allspice. Blend until smooth and well combined.

Pour into crust: Once the filling is smooth, pour it into the chilled prepared crust, spreading it evenly to the edges.
-
Prepare streusel topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, wheat germ, pecans, light brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger. Stir until well combined.
-
Add oil: Gradually add the canola oil to the dry ingredients, stirring until the mixture is lightly coated and crumbly.
-
Top the pie: Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the pumpkin filling, covering the entire surface.
-
Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
