Indulge in the best of fall flavors with this irresistible Pumpkin Pecan Pie, a decadent twist on two classic desserts. Featuring a velvety pumpkin filling spiced with cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg, this pie is topped with a rich, buttery pecan layer for the perfect combination of creamy and crunchy textures. The unbaked pie crust cradles layers of flavor, from the luscious pumpkin custard to the caramelized pecan topping sweetened with light corn syrup and melted butter. Ready in just 20 minutes of prep time and baked to golden perfection, this stunning dessert is an ideal centerpiece for holiday gatherings or cozy autumn nights. Serve it chilled or at room temperature, paired with a dollop of whipped cream or creamy vanilla ice cream for the ultimate seasonal treat.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix until smooth.
Add 2 eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla extract to the pumpkin mixture. Whisk until fully incorporated.
Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust and spread it evenly.
In a medium bowl, mix the chopped pecans, corn syrup, melted butter, and the remaining egg until well combined.
Carefully spoon the pecan topping over the pumpkin filling, making sure to spread it out evenly.
Place the pie on the center rack of the oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the pecan topping is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature.
Serve slices at room temperature or chilled. Optionally, top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
