PUMPKIN PECAN PIE
"This is a classic pumpkin pie with a couple of simple twists. The pecans on top of the crust and the pie filling provide richness and great depth of flavor. The crunchy texture and roasted flavor they offer naturally complements the sweetness of the pumpkin and the spices in the filling. I love this pie served warm with some melting vanilla ice cream on top. Delicious." -Alex Guarnaschelli

Tips for making the Best Pecan Pumpkin Pie
- Use fresh pumpkin puree. Fresh pumpkin puree has a richer flavor than canned puree. To make your own pumpkin puree, simply roast a pumpkin until tender, then scoop out the flesh and puree it in a food processor or blender.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the crust tough. Mix only until the ingredients are combined.
- Blind-bake the crust before filling it. Blind-baking the crust will help to prevent it from getting soggy. To blind-bake the crust, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line the pie crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the parchment paper and pie weights and bake for another 5 minutes.
- Use a variety of nuts. Pecans are the traditional nut for pecan pumpkin pie, but you can also use walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts. For a more complex flavor, use a combination of nuts.
- Don't overcook the pie. The pie is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overcooking the pie will make the crust dry and crumbly.
Conclusion
Pecan pumpkin pie is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas. With its rich, creamy filling and buttery crust, pecan pumpkin pie is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give pecan pumpkin pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
