For a richer flavor, toast the walnuts before adding them to the filling. If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own blend with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. The orange glaze adds a lovely brightness to the pie, but you can substitute lemon if preferred. Be sure to drain the watermelon rind thoroughly after boiling to prevent a soggy pie.
