Pumpkin Pecan Pie

1. PREPARE THE PIE CRUST

   Roll out the pie crust and gently press it into the dish, ensuring it fits snugly against the sides and bottom. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges. Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust several times to prevent air bubbles. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

   Tip: Chill the pie crust for 10 minutes before filling to help it hold its shape.

1. MAKE THE PUMPKIN FILLING

   In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of canned pumpkin, ¼ cup of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, ½ teaspoon of nutmeg and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust the sweetness or spices if needed.

   Tip: Use pure canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling) for the best results.

1. ADD THE PECAN TOPPING

   In a separate bowl, mix ½ cup of chopped pecans with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Stir until the pecans are evenly coated.

   Tip: Toast the pecans beforehand for a deeper, nuttier flavor.

1. ASSEMBLE THE PIE

   Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the pecan mixture over the top, covering the pumpkin layer completely.

   Tip: Press the pecans lightly into the filling to help them stick.

1. BAKE THE PIE

   Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the filling is set and the pecans are golden brown. If the edges of the crust brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.

   Tip: Check the pie halfway through baking to ensure even browning.

1. COOL THE PIE

   Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour. This allows the filling to set and makes slicing easier.

   Tip: Cooling the pie completely prevents the filling from spilling out when cut.

1. SERVE

   Once cooled, slice the pie into even portions and serve. Optionally, add a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup for extra indulgence.

   Tip: Use a sharp knife to cut clean slices, wiping the blade between cuts for neat edges.
