Steps:
- For maple caramel:
- Stir sugar and butter in heavy small saucepan over medium heat until blended and smooth. Whisk in cream. Bring to boil, stirring until caramel bits dissolve. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in bourbon and vanilla; simmer 1 minute. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
- For pumpkin custard:
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Whisk cream and next 6 ingredients in heavy large saucepan. Bring to simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Whisk sugar and egg yolks in medium bowl. Gradually stir hot pumpkin mixture into egg yolk mixture.
- Pour pumpkin custard into 8x8x2-inch glass baking dish; cover with foil. Place dish in 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Fill baking pan with enough hot water to come halfway up sides of dish. Bake until custard is set in center, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool completely. Cover and chill until cold, at least 4 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.)
- For profiteroles:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Bring 1/2 cup water, milk, butter, sugar, and salt to boil in heavy large saucepan. Stir in flour; cook over medium-high heat, stirring vigorously, until dough is smooth and pulls away from sides of pan, about 1 minute. Transfer hot mixture to standing mixer. Beat dough with paddle attachment at medium speed until slightly cool, about 3 minutes. Add 3 eggs, 1 at a time, beating until blended after each addition. Beat in egg yolk until blended.
- Spoon 16 mounds of batter about the size of large eggs onto prepared sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Beat remaining egg in small bowl to blend. Brush tops of profiteroles lightly with beaten egg. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven to 375°F. Continue baking until puffed and dark golden brown, about 30 minutes longer. Transfer to rack to cool completely. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Store in airtight container in freezer. Remove from freezer a few hours before continuing.)
- Rewarm caramel sauce. Using serrated knife, slice profiteroles horizontally in half. Spoon rounded 1/3 cup filling into bottom half of each profiterole. Cover with top halves. Drizzle with sauce. Spoon dollop of whipped cream atop profiteroles. Sprinkle with chopped pecans and serve.

Steps:
- Make dough:
- Pulse almonds, flour, baking powder, salt, and spices in a food processor until nuts are very finely ground.
- Beat together butter and sugar with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy, then beat in egg. Add flour mixture in 2 batches, mixing at low speed just until a dough forms. Form dough into a disk and chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 2 hours.
- Whisk together brown sugar, eggs, molasses, salt, and spices. Whisk in pumpkin, then cream.
- Assemble and bake tart:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin into a 12-inch round. (Dough will be sticky, so rotate frequently and dust surface with flour as needed.) Slide bottom of tart pan under dough and set into rim of tart pan. Press dough against side of pan and trim excess. (Dough cracks easily but can be patched.)
- Line shell with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake in lower third of oven until dough is set and pale golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Carefully remove foil and weights, then add custard, spreading evenly. Sprinkle top with pine nuts and bake until filling is set, 30 to 35 minutes. (If edge of crust is browning too quickly, cover edge with foil or a piecrust shield.) Cool completely in pan on a rack.
- Remove rim of tart pan, leaving tart on pan bottom, and transfer to a platter.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a heavy saucepan, combine 1 cup of the sugar and 1/2 cup water. Cook over medium heat.
- Once sugar has dissolved, swirl the pan and cook until it is a deep caramel color.
- Quickly divide the caramel among 6 ramekins or dessert cups. Cool.
- Combine milk, pumpkin, remaining sugar, eggs, vanilla, and spices.
- Pour into dessert cups and place in a baking pan, cover each with foil.
- Pour hot water into the pan so water is halfway up the cups.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes.
- Remove from the baking pan and let cool.
- Chill 2 to 24 hours.
- Run a knife around the sides; invert onto plates.
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This helps ensure even mixing and a smooth custard.
- Use fresh pumpkin puree for the best flavor and texture. You can make your own puree by roasting and mashing a pumpkin, or use canned puree.
- Be careful not to overcook the custard. It should be firm but still have a slight jiggle in the center.
- Let the custard cool completely before serving. This allows the flavors to develop and the texture to firm up.
- Serve the custard with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor.
