Can’t decide between pumpkin pie and pecan pie? No worries. You can have them both in one pie. This amazing fall pie has a layer of pumpkin pie on the bottom topped with a sweet and crunchy layer of pecan pie. This pie puts pumpkin pie to shame. Even those who don’t like pumpkin pie should give this pie a go.

This pie is easy enough for a novice baker to make. No electric mixer needed.

Pumpkin Pecan Pie Recipe Tips:

  • For ease and convenience, I use a refrigerated pie crust for this recipe, but you can definitely make a homemade pie dough like this Flaky Pie Crust.
  • To prevent shrinkage of the pie crust, shape it into the pie crust and freeze it for 15 minutes. Or you can refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes.

  • You’ll need either pie weights or dried beans to set inside the pie crust while it bakes or it will poof up.
  • The pumpkin filling is an easy mixture of 6 ingredients that can all be mixed in a bowl with a whisk. To keep dirty dishes to a minimum, pour the pumpkin mixture into the pie crust and then mix the pecan pie filling in the same bowl.
  • You want to gently spoon the second layer on so it stays as two layers instead of getting mixed together.
  • Bake the pie for 45 to 50 minutes. You will probably need to tent the pie crust edges with foil after about 30 minutes to keep them form burning.
  • Don’t overbake. There should still be a little jiggle in the center of the pie. It will firm up as it cools.
  • Let the pie cool completely before slicing.
  • Can be served cold, room temperature or warmed. Tastes best with whipped cream.
