Ingredients for Pecan Pumpkin Pie
Pumpkin pie filling – Make this with pumpkin puree either from a can or make it homemade. Don’t forget to add pumpkin pie spice for the best flavor! Evaporated milk, an egg, and sugar make a filling that tastes so delicious. Pecan pie filling – Use chopped pecans for the filling and whole pecans for the topping. Or use a streusel topping in addition to pecans, if desired. Fresh is best when it comes to pecans, so keep them stored in the freezer until ready for use. Then just mix together butter and eggs, corn syrup and sugar, with cornstarch to make the best filling ever. Crust – Use a premade or frozen crust from the market, or make your own amazing flaky homemade pie crust. It’s not difficult to do, just follow the instructions carefully. Since this is a deep dish pie, it may need to be rolled a little thinner than usual.
How to Make Pumpkin Pecan Pie
Pre Make This Pie!
This pie is perfect for making ahead! Simple follow the recipe instructions, bake the pie, and chill, (without whipped cream) tightly covered in the refrigerator. The pie will set and taste even better the next day! Drizzle with easy caramel sauce or maple syrup for a flavor twist. Other desserts and pies that can be made ahead include this Praline Pumpkin Pie or this irresistible Pumpkin Crunch Cake.
Storing Leftovers
Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. Make sure to store it in an airtight container so it doesn’t dry out. While pecan pies are great to freeze, freezing pumpkin pie isn’t recommended as the best way to maintain freshness, since it doesn’t thaw out well. So why not make a delicious pumpkin cheesecake for freezing instead?
