⅔ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger

5 egg yolks, beaten
¾ cup milk
1 cup pumpkin puree
3 egg whites

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.) In a large bowl, combine oats, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon and butter. Press into 9 inch pie plate. Place 8 inch pie plate on top and bake 8 minutes. Remove top plate and set aside to cool.

In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add cream of tartar and 1/3 cup white sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Fold into pumpkin mixture. Pour filling into pie crust. Chill in refrigerator until ready to serve.
