Best Pumpkin Pecan Pie Recipe - How to Make Pumpkin Pecan Pie

Step 1Place butter and flour into freezer for 30 minutes before starting crust process. (You want them SUPER cold.)

Step 2In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. (Alternately, you can do this in a food processor.) Add butter and, using your hands, mix together until pea-sized and some slightly larger pieces form. Add vinegar and then ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough starts to come together and is moist but not wet and sticky (test by squeezing some with your fingers). Mixture will be crumbly.

Step 3Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and form into a ball. Flatten into a disk (making sure there are no/minimal cracks).

Step 4Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until dough is very cold, at least 2 hours or up to overnight.

Step 5Preheat oven to 425º and lightly grease a deep 9" pie dish with cooking spray.

Step 6On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough into a 12” circle. Drape over pie dish and gently press to fit, making sure there are no air bubbles. Trim edge to 1” and tuck overhang under itself and crimp edges, With a fork, lightly prick bottom of crust. Refrigerate 30 minutes or freeze 10 minutes.

Step 7Line crust with parchment paper and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake 10 minutes, then remove parchment and weights and bake for 10 minutes more. Reduce heat to 350º.

Step 8Meanwhile, make fillings: In a large bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, heavy cream, sugar, and eggs together. Add vanilla and spices and stir to combine.

Step 9In another large bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, salt, and eggs. Add pecans and stir until well coated.

Step 10Pour pumpkin filling on top of parbaked crust and smooth top. Gently, pour pecan filling over pumpkin.

Step 11Bake pie until filling is only slightly jiggly in center, 45 minutes. If crust starts to darken too much, place foil loosely around crust and continue baking.

Step 12Let cool at room temp for 1 hour, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
