Simple Turtles® Pumpkin Pie image

This is a very simple and delicious recipe. The combination of caramel, pecans, pumpkin, and a graham cracker crust brings the flavors together. Taste-wise I prefer to make a homemade crust, but a pre-made graham cracker crust can be substituted to reduce prep time. It is a staple in our family around the holidays and has won several cooking contests. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

Time 1h25m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ¼ cups finely crushed graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup white sugar
6 tablespoons butter, melted
¼ cup caramel topping
½ cup pecan pieces
1 cup cold milk
1 cup canned pumpkin
2 (4-serving size) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 (8 ounce) container whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®), thawed and divided
2 tablespoons pecan pieces
2 tablespoons caramel topping

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a mixing bowl until evenly moistened; press into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is lightly browned and smells toasted, about 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  • Spread 1/4 cup caramel topping onto the cooled crust. Sprinkle 1/2 cup pecan pieces over the caramel topping.
  • Whisk milk, pumpkin, pudding mix, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a bowl until well combined. Stir 1 1/2 cups whipped topping into pumpkin mixture. Spread pumpkin mixture into crust. Spread remaining whipped topping over the top of the pie. Refrigerate pie until chilled, at least 1 hour. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons pecans atop the pie and drizzle with 2 tablespoons caramel using a fork.

This pie was a disaster. I followed the recipe exactly and it still turned out wrong. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I followed the recipe exactly and my pie turned out terrible. The crust was soggy and the filling was runny.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The crust was flaky and the filling was smooth and creamy.

I've tried many pumpkin pie recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The flavor is amazing and the texture is perfect. It's a bit more work than some other recipes, but it's worth it.

This pumpkin pie was a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was smooth, creamy, and perfectly spiced. I'll definitely be making this again next year.
