Ingredients
Scale
- For the Pie Crust:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- ¼ cup ice water
- For the Pumpkin Layer:
- 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- For the Pecan Layer:
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups pecan halves
Instructions
- Prepare the Pie Crust: In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Cut in cold butter with a pastry blender or your fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing until dough just comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out pie dough on a lightly floured surface and fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim edges and crimp.
- Prepare the Pumpkin Layer: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in heavy cream until smooth. Pour into the prepared pie crust.
- Prepare the Pecan Layer: In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and vanilla extract. Beat in eggs until well combined. Stir in pecan halves.
- Carefully spoon the pecan mixture over the pumpkin layer, spreading evenly.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges of the pecan layer are set and the pumpkin layer is mostly set with a slight jiggle in the center. If the crust browns too quickly, cover edges with foil.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
