Pompion/pumpion pie. The original recipe is from the late 1600s. I made some changes. Sugar pumpkin, apples. cranberries, candied oranges, half the sugar replaced with maple syrup, no herbs but gingerbread spices, amaretto instead of sherry. I also added the almonds as a topping and I think that was a good idea.

It has a lot of apple flavor and it's buttery and crumbly. Subtle notes of oranges, gingerbread spice, and amaretto. Very nice. I'll definitely make a few large ones for Thanksgiving.

Looks good. The chunks of pumpkin description kinda made me gag, but that would be edible.

Where did I mention chunks of pumpkin? The small, sliced pieces of pumpkin are pan-fried in butter until they crumble into small, soft bits. The baked bits of apple are larger than the bits of pumpkin.

Not you, I don't think you described it that way. My fertile imagination. I just thought there would be chunks. I don't like chunks. Mushy hunks of half cooked pumpkin is what I was thinking

Chunks blow, lol.

I've never been a texture type eater (except maybe natto), but understand a lot of people have their objections. Creamed corn comes to mind.

My wife made butternut soup a while ago and couldn't find the attachment for the immersion blender so we are it as is. I thought the "mushy chunks" were great.
 
Oh, your aged mind must be thinking of my pumpkin potage. I left a few nice chunks of pumpkin in there. Squishy on the palate. A gourmetastic delight extraordinaire.
