Ingredients

• 1 Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 1.5 cups Pumpkin puree
• 0.75 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 cups Maple syrup
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 3 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Pecans (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges as desired. Place the crust in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, maple syrup, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Add the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt to the pumpkin mixture. Mix until all the spices are evenly incorporated.

Step 5

Pour the pumpkin filling into the chilled pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, mix the chopped pecans and melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the pumpkin filling.

Step 7

Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.

Step 8

If the edges of the crust begin to brown too quickly, cover them with foil or a pie shield halfway through baking.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Step 10

Serve the pie at room temperature or chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup for garnish.
