How to Make a Pumpkin Pecan Pie Recipe
Set your oven to 425 degrees and put the pie dish onto a sheet.
Add your eggs into a large bowl and whisk.
Add in the pumpkin, evaporated milk, condensed milk, salt, and spices into the bowl and combine.
Pour the mixture into the crust.
Bake your pie for 15 minutes and then lower the heat in the oven to 350 degrees. Then, bake for an additional 50-60 minutes until the edges are set and you can insert a knife in the middle and it comes out clean.
Let your pie cool to room temperature and then place in the fridge overnight.
Do I Use Whole Pecans or Pieces?
You can add whole or pieces of pecans onto your Pumpkin Pecan Pie depending on what you desire. The texture of your pie is what will change depending on what your choose. But, in the end, it will be based on what you want, although I would prefer smaller pieces.
Do You Bake the Crust Before Adding the Filling?
NO, you do not need to prebake this crust. The crust will bake as you bake the pie and prebaking it will cause the crust to be overdone.
