Pecan Streusel  Pumpkin Pie

My recipe of the day  with the  Baking Bloggers group is for Pecan Streusel  Pumpkin Pie. For November the group voted to do holiday  pies and here it is.

Can you believe it is almost Thanksgiving already? Time flies when you are in the kitchen having fun!

Pecan Streusel Pumpkin Pie

I was going to do the base of this pie with the “new-fashioned” Libby’s recipe they have come out with, but that recipe crashed and burned as it has too much liquid in it. I mean, it will eventually bake out after around 90 minutes, but it does make pie baking difficult. Plus the texture wasn’t as good as what I have amended it with.

New-Fashioned Pie

So this is a modified Libby’s new-fashioned with a repair job done to it and it works swimmingly. I had actually thought it looked like too much liquid in the first one, but had trusted that they tested it out. Nope. How unfortunate for their brand as that older recipe is a very trusted one.

Streusel Topping

I have also put together a streusel as a topping- which is added gently after the pie bakes a little bit, to let the filling thicken ever so slightly (you don’t want your streusel sinking). Also when you add it, don’t do it in big handfuls,  but sprinkle gently.

    • It probably doesn’t change it enough for those who don’t like squash in pie. But there are so many desserts to choose from there are no worries.

  1. My pumpkin pie recipe is almost identical to yours. However one year I made it with an off brand sweetened condensed milk, and it failed, soupy and nasty tasting. I learned that you do need quality ingredients. All that being said, totally trying the streusel topping for my next pie.

    • I haven’t had issues with any brands. This one you could tell from adding the wets on the label to each other that it didn’t add up. I dropped the milk by 75%.

  2. I hate when you know a recipe seems fishy, but make it anyway and you’re proven right. Such a waste of time. But I feel like the streusel topping made up for it.

    • Second time around was great though. I didn’t get complaints on the first one either, but I can’t ask people to spend all night baking a pie. LOL!
