How to Make Pumpkin Pecan Pie
This pie is very easy to make with only a few simple ingredients. In a large bowl, add canned pumpkin puree, sugar, an egg, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix with a hand mixer until smooth. Spread the pumpkin filling into the bottom of a deep dish pie crust. In another bowl, whisk together corn syrup, eggs, unsalted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir in chopped pecans. Pour the pecan filling over the pumpkin layer. Bake in a preheated oven until set. Cool completely on a wire rack. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Helpful Tips & Frequently Asked Questions
- Make sure to buy a can of pureed pumpkin and NOT pumpkin pie filling for this recipe.
- I don’t have pumpkin spice. What can I use instead? Pumpkin spice is a combination of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves.
- Here is what I use for my homemade pumpkin spice mix: 2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp ginger ½ tsp nutmeg, ½ tsp allspice, and ¼ tsp cloves. Feel free to mix up the amounts according to your personal preference.
- I use a frozen deep dish pie crust. There is no need to thaw the pie crust before baking the pie.
- You can substitute a homemade pie dough if desired.
- Use a 9-inch pie plate.
- Can substitute a graham cracker crust, if desired.
- If the pie crust starts to get too brown, cover the edges of the pie crust with aluminum foil.
- I like to use chopped pecans in this pie. I made this with pecan halves and the pecans got a little too toasty (burnt) when cooking. The chopped pecans don’t burn while waiting for the center of the pie to set.
- Can Pumpkin Pecan Pie be frozen? Yes! Bake the pie and cool completely. Wrap the pie dish in plastic wrap and freeze. Thaw on the countertop a few hours before serving.
- The pie will keep in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
