PECAN PUMPKIN PIE
Pecan-pumpkin pie
This pie is not as terribly sweet as straight
pecan pie, and less ordinary than pumpkin pie.
The recipe came originally from Gourmet magazine.
Ingredients
(1 pie)
Crust
- 1 9-inch uncooked flaky pastry pie shell
Pumpkin
layer
- 3/4 cup pumpkin
- 2 Tbsp packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 Tbsp sour cream
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp grated nutmeg
Pecan
layer
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs,
- 3 Tbsp melted unsalted butter
cooled
- 2 tsp vanilla,
- 1/4 tsp grated lemon rind
- 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/3 cups pecans
Procedure
-
Prepare pie shell. Keep chilled.
-
Whisk together until smooth pumpkin,
2 Tbsp
brown sugar, 1 egg, sour cream,
cinnamon, and nutmeg.
-
In another bowl, combine corn syrup,
1/2 cup
brown sugar, 3 eggs,
3 Tbsp
butter, vanilla, lemon rind, lemon juice, and salt.
Stir in pecans.
-
Spread the pumpkin layer into the pie shell,
then carefully spoon the pecan mixture over it.
Bake in the upper third of a preheated
oven for 20 minutes, then reduce to
for 20-30 minutes more.
The filling will puff slightly, but
the center will not be completely set.
Cool on a rack.
