PUMPKIN TART WITH PECAN CRUST



Pumpkin Tart With Pecan Crust image

My aunt made this pie for Thanksgiving last year, and getting the recipe from her was definitely a smart idea. This is not only a tasty recipe, but it's vegan.

Provided by Jen

Categories     Fruits and Vegetables     Vegetables     Squash

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

¾ cup pecan halves
¾ cup rolled oats
¾ cup whole wheat pastry flour
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
¼ cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons real maple syrup
1 cup soy milk
¼ cup arrowroot powder
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
½ cup real maple syrup
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves

Steps:

  • Set rack in the middle of the oven, and preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly oil a 9 inch pie plate. Set aside.
  • Spread nuts over a baking pan. Toast for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the smell of nuts fills the kitchen. Set aside 16 pecan halves for garnish.
  • Combine oats, flour, remaining pecans, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a food processor bowl. Pulse until mixture becomes a coarse meal. Transfer to a mixing bowl. Whisk together oil and 3 tablespoons maple syrup, and mix into dry ingredients to form a soft dough. Press mixture into prepared pie plate. Crimp edges. Bake for 10 minutes, and set aside to cool.
  • Blend soymilk and arrowroot in the food processor until the arrowroot is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth, about 15 seconds.

Pour filling into baked crust, and smooth the top with a spatula.

Categories     Bon Appétit     Dessert     Pie     Thanksgiving     Fall     Pecan     Pumpkin     Cinnamon     Nutmeg     Cardamom     Ginger     Maple Syrup     Milk/Cream     Whiskey     Rye     Butter     Bake     Soy Free     Peanut Free

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

Crust:
¼ cup rye flour or all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
¾ tsp. kosher salt
1½ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
¾ cup (1½ sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 large egg white, beaten to blend
Filling and assembly:
3 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1 (15-oz.) can Libby's 100% Pure Pumpkin
¾ cup heavy cream
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 Tbsp. rye whiskey
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground ginger
¼ tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
¼ tsp. ground cardamom
Small pinch of ground cloves
8 Tbsp. light brown sugar, divided
3 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted, divided
1¼ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt, divided
1½ cups whole pecans
1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
Whipped cream (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Crust:
  • Whisk rye flour, sugar, salt, and 1½ cups all-purpose flour in a large bowl to combine. Add butter and toss to evenly coat. Working quickly and aggressively, use your fingers to rub butter into flour to create large shaggy pieces of dough (you want some pieces of butter that are flat and thin and some that are large and chunky). Drizzle 5 Tbsp. ice water over, running your fingers through flour mixture to evenly distribute. Knead dough in bowl until it starts to come together (it should look a little dry, but add more ice water by the teaspoonful if needed, just until dough comes together).
  • Turn dough out onto a work surface and knead 1 or 2 more times, pressing to incorporate shaggy edges and any loose bits. Dust surface and dough lightly with flour to keep dough from sticking. Using your hands, form dough into about a 7x5" rectangle. Using your rolling pin, gently tap and press dough to compact and tidy up edges. Roll out dough, dusting dough and surface as needed, until 3 times longer than when you started. Fold dough over onto itself in thirds like a letter to make a square. Wrap in plastic and chill until firm, at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to about a 12" round. Wrap dough around your rolling pin and unfurl into a standard 9"-diameter pie dish. Gently lift dough so it slumps down into edges of dish. Trim overhang and crimp as desired. Line crust with parchment paper or foil. Place dish on a rimmed baking sheet and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until edges of crust start to brown, about 20 minutes. Remove parchment and weights. Decrease oven temperature to 350° and bake crust until edges are golden, 20-25 minutes. Remove dish from oven and brush 1 Tbsp. egg white over bottom of crust. Return to oven and bake until crust is golden brown, 5-10 minutes (the egg creates a water-resistant coating that helps prevent the custard from making the bottom soggy). Reserve remaining egg white for topping.
  • Do Ahead: Dough can be made 3 days ahead; keep chilled. Crust can be baked 3 days ahead; store tightly wrapped at room temperature.
  • Filling and assembly:
  • While your crust is baking, combine eggs, egg yolk, pie filling, cream, granulated sugar, whiskey, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, cloves, 6 Tbsp. brown sugar, 2 Tbsp. butter, and ½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a large bowl and blend with an immersion blender until smooth; try not to aerate. (Alternatively, you can whisk mixture well and blend in 2 batches in a blender until smooth and homogenous.)
  • Pour into crust and bake pie (still at 350°F) until filling is puffed and mostly set with just a slight wobble in the center when gently shaken, 40-45 minutes.
  • Just before the pie is done baking, toast pecans on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until slightly darkened and fragrant, 8-10 minutes.
  • Whisk reserved egg white, remaining 2 Tbsp. brown sugar, and remaining ¾ tsp. salt in a small bowl until foamy, about 30 seconds. Add syrup and remaining 1 Tbsp. butter; whisk just to combine. Add pecans and toss to coat.
  • Carefully remove pie from oven and top with pecan mixture, allowing any excess egg white mixture to drip back into the bowl. Return pie to oven and bake until filling is completely set (a tester or paring knife inserted into the center should come out clean) and nuts are not tacky to the touch, 8-10 minutes. Transfer pie to a wire rack and let cool, at least 2 hours. Serve with whipped cream if desired.
  • Do Ahead: Pie can be baked 1 day ahead. Store uncovered in a cool oven or at room temperature.

PUMPKIN PECAN-PRALINE PIE



Pumpkin Pecan-Praline Pie image

This recipe for pumpkin pecan-praline pie is courtesy of chef Paul Bergeron.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Yield Makes One 9-Inch Pie

Number Of Ingredients 13

All-purpose flour, for work surface
Flaky Pie Dough for Pumpkin Pecan-Praline Pie
4 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup Muscovado light or dark-brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 pound Pumpkin Puree for Pumpkin Pecan-Praline Pie
1 cup heavy cream
Pecan-Praline

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll out half of the dough to 1/8-inch thick. Using a 1-inch tear-shaped cookie cutter, cut out 50 tear-shaped pieces of dough. Starting with the pointed end, roll each piece of dough three-quarters of the way toward the fat end of the tear, forming a curl. Transfer curls to a baking sheet; refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out remaining dough into an 11-inch round. With a dry pastry brush, brush off any excess flour; fit dough into a 9-inch glass pie plate, pressing it into the edges. Trim to a 1-inch overhang all around. Fold under overhang so it extends slightly beyond the edge of the pie plate.
  • Prick bottom of dough all over with a fork. Line with parchment paper, leaving at least a 1-inch overhang. Top with a 9-inch metal pie tin. Bake for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack. Remove parchment paper and weights; let cool.
  • Beat 1 egg in a small bowl. Brush the edge of the pie crust with egg. Starting with 1 dough curl, place the flat bottom on the egg-washed rim, with the curl perpendicular to the edge of the pie plate. Working in the same direction, continue placing curls next to one another until the rim of the pie shell is completely covered with curls. Transfer pie shell to refrigerator; let chill 1 hour. Brush curls with remaining beaten egg.
  • In a large bowl, mix together both sugars, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Add pumpkin puree and stir well to combine. Whisk in remaining 3 eggs and cream.
  • Pour pumpkin mixture into prepared pie shell. Transfer to a 375 degree oven and bake until filling is just set, about 40 minutes. Let pie cool completely on a wire rack. Sprinkle pie with praline topping just before serving.
