Our pumpkin pecan pie has everything you love about the two classic holiday desserts, from the creamy pumpkin spice custard to the sweet, crunchy pecan topping. This pie may be two desserts combined into one, but it\u2019s still very easy to make.<\/p>\n

We recommend refrigerating this pie overnight for the best flavor, so keep that in mind if you’re menu planning for Thanksgiving or another large gathering. But this works in your favor during the busy cooking and baking season: Make it a day or two in advance to free up the oven and kitchen space on the big day.<\/p>\n

Canned Pumpkin vs. Pumpkin Pie Filling<\/h2>\n

When baking any pumpkin treat, you’ve got several options to choose from: canned pumpkin, fresh pumpkin, or pumpkin pie filling. For this pecan pumpkin pie recipe, It\u2019s important to use plain pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling. Why? Pumpkin pie filling already has sugar and spices added, so it would throw the recipe off. Plain pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie filling are often placed right next to each other on the grocery shelves, so make sure you snag the right can.<\/p>\n
