Pumpkin Pecan Pie is the fall dessert mashup of my dreams! This Thanksgiving dessert combines two of the most popular pies and is such a hit.
Looking for some great pie recipes to try this year? We have some really good ones!! A few of my top favorites are Crustless Pumpkin Pie, Easy Homemade Apple Pie, and Peanut Butter Pie. So yummy!
Pumpkin Pecan Pie
I can’t believe it took me this long to think of putting two of my favorite pies together. Dessert mashups are so much fun!
For this recipe, we make a layer of yummy homemade pumpkin pie on top of a flakey pie crust and then add pecans. Baking this fills your kitchen with the most delicious aromas.
The Easiest Way To Cut Pecans
This is a little trick I learned a while ago: to cut pecans without having them fly off the cutting board, put them into a bowl and use a pasty cutter. Since pecans are a softer nut, this works really great and keeps all of them in the bowl.
What is The Best Canned Pumpkin Puree?
In my humble opinion, when I’m baking for the holidays with pumpkin my favorite choice is Libby’s brand. It’s 100% pure and all natural pumpkin.
Of course, if you’ve already got some in your pantry you’d like to use, any brand will work in this recipe.
Add a dollop of whipped cream and enjoy. I also like to eat this pie with homemade vanilla ice cream!
