That's right, friends. It's not fake! The countdown to Thanksgiving is upon us, and I'm getting more and more excited to indulge in all of the amazing foods we like to have on Thanksgiving Day.
Today I'm sharing one of my favorite Thanksgiving Desserts, Pumpkin Pecan Pie. This recipe is crazy good and it's filled with loads of flavor. It's perfect paired with a cup of coffee, ice cream, whipped cream or whatever you like (my Bread Pudding Recipe is another must try). The crunch in this pie adds a bit of interest to the traditional pumpkin pie texture, which I love.
So if you're looking for a pumpkin pie that's going to make everyone scream for more, this is going to be your jam!
Here's the recipe.
Everything Dawn Pumpkin Pecan Pie

For the topping:
1/2 cup flour

What to do:
Make sure the pureed pumpkin is drained well.
