Pumpkin Pecan Pie

“This is a classic pumpkin pie with a couple of simple twists. The pecans on top of the crust and the pie filling provide richness and great depth of flavor. The crunchy texture and roasted flavor they offer naturally complements the sweetness of the pumpkin and the spices in the filling. I love this pie served warm with some melting vanilla ice cream on top. Delicious.” –Alex Guarnaschelli
