"This is a fantastically airy and well spiced pumpkin pie. This recipe was entered in the Martha Stewart Show's first annual pie baking contest in November of 2009. Even those who do not like pumpkin pie will love this! Baked in a gingersnap cookie crust and topped with cinnamon, vanilla meringue, this pie is sure to please!..."
