Pumpkin Crunch Pie image

Add a pecan crumble topping for a new twist on traditional pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 5h5m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 disk Pate Brisee for Savory and Sweet Pies
Unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
Pinch of salt
1 cup chopped pecans (4 ounces)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
12 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
1 large egg, plus 1 large yolk
4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch of ground cloves

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Roll out dough to just under 1/4 inch thick (11-inch diameter) on a lightly floured surface and fit into a 9-inch glass pie plate. Trim excess, leaving a 1-inch overhang; fold edges under, pressing gently to seal. Freeze for at least 1 hour or up to 1 week.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line crust with parchment and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until edges are lightly browned and bottom crust is cooked through, about 30 minutes. Remove parchment and weights; continue baking until entire crust is golden, about 10 minutes more. Let cool completely on a wire rack, about 1 hour.
  • While crust cools, make the topping: Combine flour, brown sugar, salt, and pecans in a bowl. Rub in butter with your fingers until mixture is well combined and crumbly. Crumble evenly onto a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden and crisp, about 12 minutes. Let cool.
  • Make the filling: Pulse cream cheese in a food processor until smooth. Add sugar and pumpkin and process until smooth, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl. Add egg and yolk, flour, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves; process until incorporated.
  • Pour filling into cooled pie shell. Bake until custard is puffed and just set, tenting with foil if crust is browning too quickly, about 33 minutes. Evenly distribute crumble topping over hot pie, crumbling any large clumps with fingers. Let pie cool completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate until cold and firm, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.

WALNUT-CRUNCH PUMPKIN PIE



Walnut-Crunch Pumpkin Pie image

This pie is scrumptious, and makes a nice change from regular pumpkin pie! I originally found this in TOH's Holiday Celebrations Cookbook. Make sure you use a deep dish pastry shell; it's just the right size to hold the filling. This is also superb when left as a regular pumpkin pie, omitting the topping.
