Praline Pumpkin Pecan Pie image

My husband and I are not big fans of traditional pumpkin pie, but my mother and others are, so we must have pumpkin pie as one of the desserts at Thanksgiving. I decided to meet everyone halfway with this pumpkin pecan pie recipe and it was a hit. Now I bring it to Thanksgiving every year. My mother doesn't even feel the need to bake her own pumpkin pie! -Emily Reese, Glade Hill, Virginia

Overall, I thought this pie was very good. The praline filling was delicious, and the crust was flaky and buttery. The only thing I would change is to use a less sweet filling.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The praline filling was very rich and decadent, and the crust was flaky and buttery. I would recommend using a less sweet filling if you don't like your desserts too sugary.

I had some trouble with the crust, but the filling was delicious. I think I'll try making the crust from scratch next time.
