Several days ago, when it became apparent that we were going to be having several guests, I began to search through my recipes and books for something that might be a good and simple dessert, I found this one in a Bisquick cookbook from 2000. Now, I know that some of you may not be able to purchase Bisquick where you live. Perhaps there is a comparable product available as a baking mix. Anyway, this dessert combines both favorites - pumpkin and pecans - and is sure to satisfy many tastes.
IMPOSSIBLY EASY PUMPKIN-PECAN PIE
1 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
1 cup evaporated milk (I used skim evaporated)
1/2 cup Bisquick (I used reduced fat)
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon butter, softened
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 cup chopped pecans
SPICED TOPPING
1 1/2 cups frozen (thawed) whipped topping (I actually used real whipped cream, whipped)
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Extra pecan halves
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease pie plate, 9 x 1 1/4 inches.
- Stir all ingredients except pecans and Spiced Topping until blended. Stir in chopped pecans. Pour into pie plate.
- Bake 35-40 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Cut pie into slices. Garnish each serving with Spiced Topping and pecan half, if desired. Store covered in refrigerator.
- To make Spiced Topping, stir ingredients until smooth.

We have had a beautiful October day here today! Our morning temperature was right around 50 degrees F! Today's high temperature is expected to reach the low seventies, and I think we are there now. The skies are beautifully blue!
Thank you for reading. I really appreciate your comments.
I love pecans
ReplyDeleteI love pumpkin pie
I see this as a win-win :)
And yes this weather has been super wonderful hasn't it??
I remember this recipe from long ago. I have always been a Bisquick fan and liked to keep it on hand to make dumplings. Now that I am alone I have not been keeping it on hand. This recipe sounds really good!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good combination of two Thanksgiving and Christmas favorites! OH.NO... did I just say Christmas??? Shoot me now!
ReplyDeleteMmmm, this looks delicious !
ReplyDeleteHope to give it a try this weekend.
Don't you just love all the Fall comfort food ;)

Wow---that looks awesome. I always have a hard time choosing either Pumpkin or Pecan Pie at Thanksgiving. Now--I can make one that includes both... Thanks for the recipe.

This sounds so darn good, I am going to make it definitely. I love Bisquick and their recipes are always so good. xo
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm a bit late seeing this, as I checked a few times earlier in the day, apparently when you were having those pesky problems. This really does sound like a marvelous recipe, and I just might make it this weekend for our church's Roundup Sunday meal! I'll be sharing it on FB, too, so your fame will be spread abroad! :-)
ReplyDeleteKeep the pumpkin recipes coming! You can't go wrong with pecans too! I must send this to my mother.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great combination, pecan and pumpkin. mmmm
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try this one. I've got the pumpkin and the pecan, I just need time...
Thanks.
Hugs,

Yum! Two of my favorite fall flavors . . . pecan AND pumpkin! I, too, am a firm believer in leaving the frozen whipped topping in the freezer section and whipping my own whipped cream!
