Best Pumpkin Pie With Cinnamon Pecan Topping Recipes

PUMPKIN PIE WITH CINNAMON-PECAN TOPPING

Steps:

• 1. I used a pre-made pie crust, but whatever you use, adjust the oven rack to the lowest position. Place a rimmed baking sheet on the rack and heat oven to 400 degrees.
• 2. After you place your dough in a deep-dish pie plate, refrigerate it for 15 minutes.
• 3. Line the crust with foil and fill with pie weights.
• 4. Bake crust on a rimmed baking sheet 15 minutes.
• 5. Remove foil and weights, rotate plate, and bake 5 to 10 additional minutes until the crust is golden brown and crisp. Remove the pie plate and baking sheet from the oven. Part of the process is to put a warm filling in a warm crust before baking.
• 6. For the filling: While pie shell is baking, whisk cream, milk, eggs, yolks, and vanilla together in a medium bowl.
• 7. Combine pumpkin puree, yams, sugar, maple syrup, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan (I used my Dutch oven).
• 8. Bring to a sputtering simmer over medium heat, 5 to 7 minutes. Continue to simmer pumpkin mixture, stirring constantly and mashing yams against sides of the pot until thick and shiny--about 10 to 15 minutes.
• 9. Remove pan from heat and whisk in cream mixture until fully incorporated.
• 10. Strain mixture through a fine-mesh strainer and set over a medium bowl, using back of ladle or spatula to press solids through strainer.
• 11. Rewhisk mixture.
• 12. Transfer to warm pre-baked pie shell.
• 13. Cover pie edges with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
• 14. Return pie plate with baking sheet to oven and bake the pie for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 300 degrees and continue baking until edges of pie are set; about 20. While baking prepare the topping.
• 15. For the cinnamon pecan topping, with a fork mix all ingredients in a small bowl until fully incorporated.
• 16. After the pie has baked for 20 minutes, sprinkle the cinnamon pecan topping over the pie.
• 17. Return pie to the oven and cook for another 15 minutes until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 175 degrees.
• 18. When done, transfer pie to wire rack and cool to room temperature, 2-3 hours.
• 19. Refrigerate leftovers, if there are any! It's wonderful, as you probably already know, with some real whipped cream to top it off!
