How to Make a Gluten Free Pumpkin Pecan Pie
Step 1: Prepare your pie crust. It is not necessary to blind bake.
Step 2: Combine all of the pumpkin filling ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk together or mix with a hand mixer until smooth. Pour into prepared crust and bake for 25 minutes.
Step 3: While the pumpkin layer is baking, prepared the pecan pie layer. Combine all of the ingredients except the pecans into a large bowl. Whisk together or beat with an electric mixer. Add the pecans into the liquid and fold together to coat the nuts.
Step 4: Gently pour the pecan pie filling on top of the partially baked pumpkin pie. Return to the oven for another 20-25 minutes.
Step 5: Remove and cool, then refrigerate overnight before slicing.
The Best Way to Store Leftover Pumpkin Pecan Pie
Because this is a custard pie, it must be stored in the refrigerator. You can cover the entire pie with aluminum foil and refrigerate up to 3 days.
Pumpkin pie does not freeze well, so I do not suggest freezing leftover pie (or even unbaked pie).
This pie is best made the day before serving to allow to filling to set before cutting.
There is no need to reheat leftover pie as it is normally served cold or at room temperature.
