Pecan Rye Pumpkin Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Make the crust: In a mixer fitted with paddle attachment, combine flour, salt and white sugar at low speed. Add butter and mix until pea-size lumps form. Raise the speed to medium-low and add 1/2 cup ice water in a slow, steady stream, mixing just until dough holds together. To test, pinch a small amount of dough. If it is crumbly, add more ice water, one tablespoon at a time. Shape dough into a ball and wrap it loosely in plastic, then roll it into a disk. Refrigerate at least one hour, or up to 3 days, before rolling. (Dough can be frozen for up to a month.)
• Open a 10-inch springform pan, flip the bottom over so the outside surface faces in, then close. This will make removing the pie easier when it is done, by preventing the dough from sinking into the pan's crease. On a lightly floured surface, roll chilled dough into a circle 16 inches in diameter. Lift it and let it settle into pan, fitting the dough down into the edges. Press the sides firmly against pan and pinch around the top rim. Trim dough with kitchen scissors so it hangs over the rim by one inch, reserving excess. Refrigerate in pan until very cold and firm, at least 45 minutes.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Prick bottom of dough with a fork. Lay a piece of parchment or wax paper in pan, then a piece of aluminum foil. Fill foil lining with dried beans to top of pan. Bake 15 to 25 minutes, until the sides of the crust have set and turned a light golden brown. Remove from oven and lift out the beans, foil and parchment. Patch any holes with reserved dough, pressing firmly. Bake 10 to 15 minutes more, until golden brown. Let cool at least 30 minutes before filling.
• Fill the pie: Heat oven to 325 degrees. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, melted butter, molasses, corn syrup, vanilla, salt and rye or bourbon. Place baked pie shell, still in the pan, on a sheet pan. Gently pour in the filling. Sprinkle chopped pecans evenly over surface. Working from outside in, arrange pecan halves in concentric circles, without overlapping, until entire surface is covered. (Use only as many as needed.)
• Bake 50 to 60 minutes, just until filling is firm and a wooden skewer comes out clean when inserted into center. (Do not worry if the overhanging crust becomes very dark brown.) Let cool completely. Use a serrated knife to saw off all overhanging pie crust. Carefully remove outer ring of pan. Slice with a large, very sharp knife and serve with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Mix flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in medium bowl. Cut in butter, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until particles are size of small peas. Stir in pecans. Reserve 1/4 cup crumbs for topping; set aside. Sprinkle remaining crumbs with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost leaves side of bowl.
• Gather pastry into a ball; shape into flattened round on lightly floured surface. Roll pastry into round 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch pie plate with floured rolling pin. Roll pastry loosely around rolling pin and transfer to pie plate. Unroll pastry and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1 inch from rim of plate. Fold and roll pastry under, even with plate; flute.
• Beat pumpkin, eggs, evaporated milk, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, the pumpkin pie spice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in medium bowl with electric mixer on medium speed or mix with wire whisk until smooth. Pour into pastry-lined pie plate.
• Bake 30 minutes. Mix reserved crumbs with brown sugar in small bowl. Sprinkle over partially baked pie. Cover edge of crust with 2- to 3-inch strip of foil to prevent excessive browning; remove foil during last 15 minutes of baking. Bake 20 to 25 minutes longer or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool completely, about 2 hours.
• In chilled small bowl, beat whipping cream and 3 tablespoons brown sugar with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Serve pie topped with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Combine eggs, sugars, flour, spices and salt. Blend in pumpkin. Gradually add milk; mix well.
• Pour into 9-inch pie shell. Bake in 450 degree F (230 degrees C) oven 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake 40 to 50 minutes longer.
• Sprinkle pecan mixture over pie the last 10 minutes before removing from the oven.
• To Make Topping: Combine 2 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon grated orange rind, 1/4 cup brown sugar and 3/4 cup whole pecans.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. In a large bowl, beat eggs, pumpkin, syrup, sugar, cream, cinnamon and nutmeg until smooth; pour into crust. , For topping, in a large bowl, combine eggs, pecans, sugar and syrup; spoon over top., Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°. Bake until crust is golden brown and top of pie is set, 40-45 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate overnight. If desired, serve with whipped topping.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prepare the pie crust by rolling it out and crimping the edge to form a highstanding rim.
• For the pecan filling, whisk the eggs in a bowl until foamy. Stir in the corn syrup or maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla, salt and pecans. Spread the pecan filling over the bottom of the pie crust. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the filling is set and slightly puffed.
• Meanwhile, whisk the eggs for the pumpkin filling and stir in the pumpkin puree, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and vanilla until well blended.
• When the pecan filling has set, remove it from the oven. Pour the pumpkin filling over the pecan layer and bake for about 40 minutes, until the pumpkin layer is set in the middle.
• Decorate by pressing toasted pecan halves around the outside edge of the pie. Cool for at least 20 minutes before cutting. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Remove dough from refrigerator, and place between two pieces of plastic wrap. Roll out to a 12-inch round. Remove and discard plastic, and fit dough into a 9-inch pyrex or ceramic pie plate; trim dough evenly along outside edge, leaving about a 1/2-inch overhang all around. Crimp edge, as desired. Prick the bottom of the dough all over with a fork. Place in the freezer until firm, about 15 minutes.
• Remove from freezer, and line with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Fill with pie weights or dried beans, and bake until edges are starting to turn golden, about 15 minutes. Remove paper and weights, and continue baking until center is lightly browned, about 5 minutes more. Remove from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, salt, ginger, nutmeg, eggs, 3/4 cup cream, milk, and bourbon; whisk until well combined.
• Fill prepared pie shell with pumpkin mixture, and return to oven. Bake until the filling is set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center, about 55 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool. The filling will continue to firm as it cools.
• Heat broiler. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, melted butter, remaining the tablespoon cream, and chopped pecans. Sprinkle mixture evenly over top of pie. Arrange the pecan halves on top, in a circle near the edge.
• Place pie under broiler just until topping begins to bubble, being careful not to let the nuts burn. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream, as desired.

Steps:

• Place the pumpkin pieces in a large microwaveable bowl. Cover, then cook on High (850W) for 15 mins or until soft. Tip into a colander to drain, then leave to cool.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry to the thickness of a £1 coin so it's wide enough to line a 25cm tart tin. Ease the pastry into the case, making sure there's an overhang, then chill for 30 mins. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Line the case with foil and baking beans, then bake for 15-20 mins. Remove foil and beans, then cook for a further 10 mins until the pastry is golden. Turn oven down to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3.
• Meanwhile, place pumpkin, sugar, eggs, cream and spices in a food processor, then blend until smooth. Pour into the baked pastry case, then bake for 1 hr until the filling has puffed up in the centre (it will sink as it cools). Remove from tin, then leave to cool.
• Whip the cream with the maple syrup until thickened, then fold in the pecans. Serve spoonfuls of the cream with slices of the pie.
