Not mine, but still amazing

This recipe was found a few years ago and I have loved it since. The simplicity with the pumpkin and the extra sweet and nutty flavor of the pecans combines to form a scrumptious pie fit for any holiday get-together.

When first learning how to make pie crust, doing the whole cutting the butter in, there was a strong desire and need to make it easier with the same amazing results.

To do this easier, I found that using a box shredder to shred the cold butter is the way to go. Instead of using butter knives and doing the traditional cutting the butter into the flour, shredding the butter allows it to be more uniform from the get-go.

Directions for Pumpkin Pecan Pie

1. Prepare the pie crust by placing it in a 9-inch pie plate, crimp the edges and then set aside.
For this recipe, and this Thanksgiving, I made six pies which included this one.
Before making pies, I made three separate pie crust recipes which can make up to six pies.

Homemade from scratch is the great way to go, but honesty, if you choose to use pre-made, they work just the same.

2. Firstly, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Secondly, in a medium bowl, beat together3 eggs.

4. Thirdly, to the eggs, mix in the dark corn syrup, sugar, butter, pumpkin and Homemade Vanilla Extract and then beat well.

In this recipe, homemade vanilla extract was used, and it sure leveled up the recipe! For the full recipe on how to make Homemade Vanilla Extract, click the link below. For instance, this recipe is quite simple and there are very few ingredients and tools that are needed to save a fortune doing it yourself.

5. If desired, chop the pecans on a cutting board and then place them in the mixture.
If not, place the whole pecans into the pumpkin pie filling in the bowl.

6. Then slowly pour the pumpkin-pecan mixture into the prepared pie crust.

7. Fiftly, crack an egg into a small bowl and beat it, then using a basting brush, brush the egg on the edges.

8. Then place the pumpkin pecan pie into the oven and use a pie crust shield on top of the pie, then bake for 1-hour or until a knife inserted comes out clean.
Make sure to use a potholder to remove the Pie Crust Shield after 10 minutes of baking. Click the link below to find more information on buying a pie crust shield on Amazon. For example, these are used any time a pie is baked, as it literally saves the crust from burning in the first 10 minutes of baking.

I have not always had the skills to cook and bake from scratch. As a young wife, I bought every meal frozen or boxed and presented it to my husband with a flourish, believing myself a decadent cook. As our budget shrunk, and our family grew, I looked for ways to stretch our money to nourish our kids with the best for their hungry appetites. Hoping to find recipes and meals that they would love to eat. Through the last 5 years, I have learned so many cooking and baking lessons, and experienced many wins and failures. Come along with me on this journey as I share my recipes that work, how to make them on the cheap, and my tips and tricks to get my kids to eat homemade deliciousness! I will also share updates to our house that we have done in the last year since our move. With one income, we do most of the work ourselves and with amazing family and friends to help out, cutting costs but keeping style and money in the bank! I am a wife and mother of 3 boys and 1 princess. When I was a kid, I remember being asked what I wanted to be or do when I grew up. My response was, "a mom", and I am proud to grow up and be a mom to 4 amazing kids! Samuel is 11, Matthew is 8, Levi is 4, and Elliana is almost 2. We have been blessed to have kids who love to explore foods, to try new recipes, and enjoy helping us around the house. With 4 kids, you better believe they help clean! My husband Tyler and I have been married almost 13 years. We love our kids, we love outdoors, camping, canoeing, grilling, watching movies, and just hanging out making memories. A few years ago I gifted Tyler with his own "menu" book, where we write meals and foods we have loved to eat. Weekly our family decides what our meals will be and I make up a grocery list with what we need. It literally is my favorite chore! I love to shop, so shopping for food on a budget is my biggest win! Thank you for taking the time and visiting my site, Subscribe so you do not miss a post! Keep coming back to hear about new recipes, updates on our home, fun times with our kids, and how to make homemade deliciousness! ~Monica
