Gourmet Pumpkin Pie with Pecan Topping – Easy Thanksgiving Recipes

Friend, I love pecan pie.

I mean, I adore it.

I wish I could live on pecan pie, but I don’t know if my teeth and hips could stand such a diet.

Pumpkin pie, not so much. I like it enough, but I don’t love it.

That’s not true.

I do love it when it’s mounded with 2 cups of Cool Whip, but then it sort of ceases to be pumpkin pie and is really just pumpkin-y whipped topping, so I don’t think that counts.

Anyway, when I started having my family’s Thanksgiving celebration feast at my house, I set out to find a great pumpkin pie recipe. I didn’t find one at first, so I combined several.

This pie pulls together the creamy goodness of a traditional pumpkin pie with the flavors of pecan and a little bit of brown sugar for good measure.

The result is amazing, truly.

This recipe is so good that you don’t need to do a trial run ahead of time, but you can if you want to experience the decadence twice.
