Steps:
- For best success, read the recipe in full before beginning.
- I like to make sure my pie dough is prepared before I begin making pecan praline pumpkin pie. Make pie dough the night before because it needs to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before rolling out and blind baking (next step).
- On a floured work surface, roll out one of the disks of chilled dough (use the 2nd pie crust for another recipe!). Turn the dough about a quarter turn after every few rolls until you have a circle 12 inches in diameter. Carefully place the dough into a 9×2 inch pie dish. Tuck it in with your fingers, making sure it is completely smooth. To make a lovely thick edge, I do not trim excess dough around the edges. Instead, fold the excess dough back over the edge and use your hands to mold the edge into a nice thick rim around the pie. Crimp the edges with a fork or use your fingers to flute the edges. You can see me do this in the video tutorial above. Carefully line the inside of the pie with two pieces of parchment paper, as shown in the photos and video above, then pour in the pie weights. Make sure the weights are evenly distributed around the pie dish. Chill the dough in the refrigerator or freezer for at least 30 minutes- this helps prevent the crust from shrinking. (You can actually fill with pie weights before or after chilling, it doesn't make a difference.)
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the cold pie crust (with weights!) for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes as you prepare the filling. You can pre-bake the crust up to 3 days ahead of time. Cover cooled crust tightly and refrigerate until ready to fill.
- Whisk the pumpkin, eggs, brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, black pepper, cream, and milk together in a large bowl until completely combined and smooth. If desired, you can use an electric mixer for this step.
- Remove pie weights (and parchment) from crust. Pour filling into warm crust. Brush edges with egg wash. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until the center is no longer jiggly. It can still be a little sticky in the very center on top, just as long as it no longer jiggles when you lightly tap the pan. During bake time, if you find the edges of the pie crust are browning too quickly, apply a pie crust shield or a ring of aluminum foil to protect it.
- Remove pie from the oven and add the topping. I like to make the topping as the pie bakes so I have it ready. Using a fork, mix the pecans and brown sugar together. Drizzle in the honey and mix until combined. Spoon on top of the pie, then *very* gently press it down with a spoon or fork so it sticks on the filling.
- Return pie to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Use a pie crust shield to protect the crust from over-browning, if needed.
- Remove the pie from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely, at least 3-4 hours. If not serving right away, cover cooled pie and store at room temperature for 1 day or in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Serve room temperature or cold with a sprinkle of sea salt and whipped cream. I used Ateco 849 piping tip for the whipped cream, but you can just use a spoon to top each slice with a dollop.
- Cover and store leftover pie in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Steps:
- 1. For crust, in a medium bowl whisk together flour,sugar,and salt. Using your fingers ( or a potato masher), quickly work cold, cubed butter into flour mixture (some butter pieces will be the size of oat flakes; some will be the size of peas). Create a well in mixture; pour in cold buttermilk. Using a fork, bring dough together. Try to moisten all the flour bits. Add a bit more buttermilk if necessary (you want mixture to be shaggy and moist but not outwardly wet).
- on a lightly floured work surface dump out dough mixture. Gently knead into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate for 1 hour.
- On a well floured surface roll crust 1/2 inch thick and about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer to a pie pan. Trim edge almost even with the edge of pan. Fold edges under; crimp with fingers or a fork. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 30 minutes and a max of 3 hours.
- Place rack in center of oven; preheat to 425 degrees F.
- for filling, in a medium saucepan cook pumpkin, sugars, spice and salt over medium heat until mixture begins to bubble. Cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently. (Mixture will become fragrant, and some of the water in the pumpkin will cook off.).
- Remove from heat; transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in heavy cream. Stir in eggs and vanilla; whisk until thoroughly combined. Transfer mixture to prepared crust; bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven to 350 degrees F; cook 40-50 minutes more or until pie no longer jiggles in center.
- Meanwhile, for pecan praline topping, in a medium saucepan combine brown sugar, butter, cream and salt over medium-low heat. Bring to a simmer; cook 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla, pecans, and cranberries, if desired. Let rest until pie comes out of oven.
- Remove pie ; cool 30 minutes.
- Check to see that praline topping is still pourable. If it has hardened too much, heat over low heat until pourable. Pour praline mixture over warm pie. Cool completely before serving.

PECAN PUMPKIN PIE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prepare the pie crust by rolling it out and crimping the edge to form a highstanding rim.
- For the pecan filling, whisk the eggs in a bowl until foamy. Stir in the corn syrup or maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla, salt and pecans. Spread the pecan filling over the bottom of the pie crust. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the filling is set and slightly puffed.
- Meanwhile, whisk the eggs for the pumpkin filling and stir in the pumpkin puree, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and vanilla until well blended.
- When the pecan filling has set, remove it from the oven. Pour the pumpkin filling over the pecan layer and bake for about 40 minutes, until the pumpkin layer is set in the middle.
- Decorate by pressing toasted pecan halves around the outside edge of the pie. Cool for at least 20 minutes before cutting. Serve warm or at room temperature.

PRALINE PUMPKIN PIE
A great choice when you can't decide whether to make pumpkin or pecan pie! I adore this pie. I think the praline layer adds a lovely new dimension to the traditional pumpkin pie. The pumpkin layer is the best I've ever had also. Very light and tasty without being overly sweet. A few people weren't crazy about it though because they said there was something 'wrong' with having nuts in a pumpkin pie. LOL! That's okay, that just means more for me!! And yes, you can double the praline layer, I do. You will end up with a little too much filling, but the pie will turn out fine.

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.

Steps:
- In medium bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
- Gather pastry into a ball. Shape into flattened round on lightly floured surface. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. This allows the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry more flaky. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling.
- Heat oven to 425°F. With floured rolling pin, roll pastry into round 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch glass pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1 inch from rim of pie plate. Fold and roll pastry under, even with plate; flute as desired.
- In medium bowl, beat eggs slightly. Stir in all remaining filling ingredients. Pour into pastry-lined pie plate. Bake 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix all streusel ingredients until crumbly.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Bake pie 35 minutes longer. Sprinkle streusel over pie. Bake about 10 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours. Store in refrigerator.

Tips:
- To make the perfect pie crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. This will help to create a flaky and tender crust.
- When rolling out the dough, be sure to keep it cold. This will help to prevent the dough from becoming sticky and difficult to work with.
- If you don't have a pie plate, you can use a 9-inch springform pan. Just be sure to grease the pan well before adding the dough.
- Before filling the pie crust, be sure to pre-bake it. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- When making the pumpkin pie filling, be sure to use fresh pumpkin puree. This will give the pie the best flavor.
- If you don't have time to make your own pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree. Just be sure to drain the puree well before using it.
- To make the pecan praline topping, be sure to use fresh pecans. This will give the topping the best flavor.
- If you don't have time to make your own pecan praline topping, you can use a store-bought topping.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin pie is a classic fall dessert that is enjoyed by people of all ages. This recipe for pumpkin pie with pecan praline topping is a delicious and easy-to-make version of the classic pie. With a flaky and tender crust, a creamy and flavorful pumpkin filling, and a sweet and crunchy pecan praline topping, this pie is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
