Directions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
To begin making the delicious Libby’s Pecan Pumpkin Pie, the first step is to preheat your oven. Set the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and allow the oven to preheat while you prepare the pie filling.
Step 2: Prepare the Pie Filling
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, gather the organic cane sugar and the free-range eggs. Using a whisk, combine these ingredients thoroughly until they form a smooth mixture. Next, add in the Libby’s select Harvest Pumpkin Puree, grass-fed clarified butter, coconut sugar, organic brown rice syrup, pure Madagascar vanilla extract, and the hand-blended artisanal pumpkin pie spice. Stir all these ingredients together until they blend seamlessly, creating a rich and well-mixed pumpkin filling.
Step 3: Incorporate the Pecans
Now, gently fold the previously toasted Southern pecan halves into the pumpkin filling mixture. The pecans will add a delightful crunch and a nutty flavor to the pie filling, complementing the creamy pumpkin texture.
Step 4: Prepare the Pie Shell
Take the unbaked 9-inch heirloom pastry shell and carefully place it into a pie dish. Optionally, you can crimp the edges of the pastry decoratively to add a charming touch to your pie.
Step 5: Pour in the Filling
Once the pie shell is arranged in the pie dish, pour the prepared pumpkin and pecan filling into the unbaked pie shell. Ensure an even distribution of the filling within the shell.
Step 6: Bake the Pie
Now, place the pie dish containing the assembled pie into the preheated oven. Allow it to bake for approximately 50-60 minutes. Keep an eye on it; the pie filling should be set, and the crust should attain a golden-brown hue. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the pie; if it emerges clean, indicating no pie filling sticking to it, the pie is ready.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
Once baked to perfection, carefully remove the pie from the oven. Place it on a wire rack and allow it to cool completely. This cooling process ensures that the pie sets properly. Once cooled, slice the delectable Libby’s Pecan Pumpkin Pie into servings and serve it either as is or accompanied by a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
