Pumpkin Pecan Pie
First up, here’s what you’re gonna need:
Ingredients:
- 1 pre-made pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Roll out your pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Place it in the fridge while you prepare your filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk it all together until it’s smooth and creamy.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
- Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top of the pumpkin filling. You can add a little extra if you’re feeling fancy!
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
- Let it cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing — if you can wait that long! Serve it up with whipped cream or enjoy it plain; both ways are delicious!
