Pumpkin Butterscotch Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F, then unroll one of the pastry crusts & fit it into a 9-inch pie plate. Refrigerate until ready to fill.
• In a small saucepan, combine butterscotch chips & heavy cream, & turn heat up to medium, heating about 5 minutes, whisking occasionally, until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, egg & egg yolk, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, salt, ginger & nutmeg.
• Slowly whisk in butterscotch mixture until incorporated, then spoon into crust-lined pie plate & spread smooth.
• Unroll 2nd crust/dough, AND IF USING A LATTICE PIE CUTTER, spread the crust/dough on top of the cutter. Then use a rolling pin to roll across the dough to cut & create the lattice pattern. Carefully remove piecrust from lattice cutter, trying not to stretch it, & place it on top of the pie.Fold over edge & crimp decoratively.
• IF YOU HAVE NO LATTICE PIE CUTTER, use small cookie cutters to create a design (OR carve a jack-o-lantern face !) & proceed as indicated above.
• Bake for 25 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350 degrees F & bake an additional 35 minutes, until crust is browned & pie puffs slightly, covering edge of pie with foil if it is browning too quickly.
• Cool at room temperature on wire rack.

Steps:

• Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar in a large bowl. Stir in the melted butter until evenly moistened. Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate (use the bottom of a measuring cup to help). Bake until firm and golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in the pumpkin and brown sugar to dissolve. Remove from the heat and whisk in the egg, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Whisk in the flour until smooth, then stir in the butterscotch chips. Scrape the filling into the crust and smooth the top.
• Bake the pie until the top is golden and begins cracking and a toothpick comes out mostly clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely, at least 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the ganache: Combine the white chocolate and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until almost melted, about 1 minute 30 seconds; stir until smooth. (It's OK if a little oil separates out.) Stir in the pumpkin puree until smooth.
• Gently pour the pumpkin ganache onto the cooled pie and spread to the edges. Top with shaved white chocolate. Refrigerate the pie until set, about 40 minutes. Return to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• 1. Make the batter. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin puree, and sugars.
• 2. Mix the coating. In another shallow dish, combine the cereal, pecans, and a pinch of salt.
• 3. Dredge the bread. Place the bread slices in the egg dish and soak on each side until well coated and soaked through, but not soggy. Immediately place the bread in the coating and press down on both sides and the edges to coat. Repeat with the remaining slices, place on a parchment-lined plate, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• 4. Make the syrup. In a small pot, melt the butter over low heat. Add the butterscotch and pecan liqueurs and bring to a simmer, then add the maple syrup and stir. Taste the syrup and season with a tiny pinch of salt. Keep warm over low heat.
• 5. Fry the bread. In a large skillet or griddle over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons oil. Remove the bread slices from the refrigerator and cook until golden, turning once, 5 to 7 minutes per batch. Add 1 more tablespoon of butter and oil for each batch, if needed.
• 6. Serve. Serve warm with the butterscotch syrup. Refrigerate any remaining syrup in an airtight container for up to 1 month.

Steps:

• On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425°., Line unpricked crust with a double thickness of foil. Fill with pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice. Bake on a lower oven rack until edge is light golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake until bottom is golden brown, 3-6 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack. Reduce oven setting to 350°., In a saucepan, melt butter. Remove from the heat; add flour and stir until smooth. Stir in brown sugar. Return to heat; stir in milk and salt until blended. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Stir about 1 cup hot filling into egg yolks; return all to pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Gently stir in vanilla. Pour into crust., For meringue, beat egg whites and cream of tartar in a small bowl on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Spread evenly over hot filling, sealing edge to crust., Bake until meringue is golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving. Refrigerate leftovers.
