Mrs. Kuester's Pumpkin Pie image

This is another wonderful recipe from my Mother-in-Love. Although Mrs. Kuester has been gone for many years, the recipe lives on and is a family favorite for holidays. What makes it so special is the brown sugar/pecan layer on the bottom crust. Mmmm! Enjoy!

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 c dark brown sugar
1/3 c finely chopped pecans
3 Tbsp melted butter
1 store-bought or homemade pie crust
1 c sugar, scant
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cloves, ground
1/4 tsp allspice, ground
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/4 c evaporated milk
1 1/2 c canned pumpkin

Steps:

  • 1. Mix brown sugar, butter, and pecans until well-blended. Spread GENTLY into bottom of unbaked 9-inch pie shell, careful not to puncture the crust. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes. Watch carefully! Do not allow to burn. Allow to cool completely before adding filling.
  • 2. For filling, mix spices, sugar, and salt. Add beaten eggs, then pumpkin, and milk last. Mix well. Pour over cooled crust and bake at 375 for up to one hour, or until middle is set. You will need to cover the crust edges to prevent burning.
  • 3. Pie is great served alone, or with whipped cream or ice cream. Enjoy!

The crust was a little difficult to work with, but the pie was worth the effort.

This is the best pumpkin pie recipe I've ever tried! The crust is flaky and buttery, and the filling is perfectly spiced. I will definitely be making this again for Thanksgiving.
