DELICIOUS PRALINE PUMPKIN PIE



Delicious Praline Pumpkin Pie image

My parent's neighbor gave me this recipe many years ago because I told her that I wasn't that fond of pumpkin pie. I mean, I can eat it but I wouldn't order it in a restaurant, lol! When I made this one, I was very surprised with how delicious it was. The praline mixture at the bottom just sets it off. It is so yummy and I...

1/3 c finally ground pecans, packed
1/3 c light brown sugar, firmly packed
2 Tbsp soft butter
1 c pumpkin, cooked or canned (i used canned)
2/3 c light brown sugar, firmly packed
1 Tbsp flour
1/4 tsp cloves
1/8 tsp mace (optional) i didn't use
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
2 eggs, well beaten
1 c undiluted evaporated milk

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare your 9" pie crust or purchase a pre-made one. Prick generously all over with fork. I used a store bought pie crust because I had one that I needed to use up. Combine the packed ground pecans, packed brown sugar & 2 tablespoons soft butter blending well. Press mixture firmly into bottom of pie shell.
  • 2. Bake in hot oven (450 degrees) for 10 minutes.
  • 3. Combine all other ingredients to the 2 well beaten eggs, except for the evaporated milk and blend well.
  • 4. Add the evaporated milk and beat until smooth and creamy.
  • 5. Pour into partially cooked pie shell (I covered edges of crust with foil because it had become very brown when first baked). Bake in slow oven 325 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes or until knife comes out clean when inserted in middle of pie. It totally depends on your oven. Mine cooked for 1 hour and 10 minutes!
  • 6. Finished pie!
  • 7. Cool and serve with whipped cream if desired.

PRALINE PUMPKIN PIE



Praline Pumpkin Pie image

A great choice when you can't decide whether to make pumpkin or pecan pie! I adore this pie. I think the praline layer adds a lovely new dimension to the traditional pumpkin pie. The pumpkin layer is the best I've ever had also. Very light and tasty without being overly sweet. A few people weren't crazy about it though because they said there was something 'wrong' with having nuts in a pumpkin pie. LOL! That's okay, that just means more for me!! And yes, you can double the praline layer, I do. You will end up with a little too much filling, but the pie will turn out fine.

Tips:

  • For the perfect pie crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. Butter adds flavor, while shortening helps prevent the crust from becoming too tough.
  • To get a smooth pumpkin filling, blend it until it is completely pureed. This will help prevent lumps in the pie.
  • Be careful not to overbeat the egg whites when making the meringue topping. Overbeaten egg whites can become dry and stiff, which will make the meringue difficult to spread.
  • Toast the pecans for the praline topping before adding them to the pie. This will enhance their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the crust to firm up.

Conclusion:

With its creamy pumpkin filling, crunchy praline topping, and flaky pie crust, this Praline Pumpkin Pie is a delicious and decadent treat that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are serving it for Thanksgiving dinner or a special holiday party, this pie is sure to be a hit.
