Step 1: Prepare the Crust (Optional)

1. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, mix 1 cup whole wheat flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
2. Cut in the Fat: Add the chilled coconut oil or butter to the flour. Use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add Water Gradually: Start by drizzling in 2 tablespoons of cold water, mixing until the dough just holds together. Add more water, a tablespoon at a time, if needed.
4. Form the Dough: Gather the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 15-30 minutes for easier handling.
5. Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle large enough to fit your pie dish. Transfer it into the dish, trimming and fluting the edges as desired.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

6. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups pumpkin puree, 2 eggs, 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/3 cup maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth.
7. Pour Filling: Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared crust.

Step 3: Prepare the Crumble Topping

8. Combine Topping Ingredients: In another bowl, combine 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup almond flour, 1/3 cup chopped nuts, 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
9. Spread Topping: Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the pumpkin filling.

Step 4: Bake

10. Preheat the Oven: To 375°F (190°C).
11. Bake the Pie: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crumble topping is golden brown. You can cover the edges with foil if they brown too quickly.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

12. Cool the Pie: Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least an hour before serving. This will help it set completely.
13. Serve: Slice and serve as desired. This pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
