I don’t make many desserts. I’m more the appetizer/snack guy. But, I made this triple-layer pumpkin spice pie for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it. Pumpkin pie spice pudding isn’t available year-round, so I stocked up because I know I’ll be making this pie again. This pie is creamy and mousse-y with just a bit of pumpkin flavoring. The crunchy crust and nuts make it the perfect, easy-to-make pie for a get-together.
Thanksgiving Perfected
I used some of my dad’s fresh pecans on this triple-layer pumpkin spice pie. He has four large pecan trees in his yard that produce an amazing amount of the best pecans I’ve ever tasted. They were the crowning touch this pie deserved! I always look forward to making this pie every year around Thanksgiving. Pumpkin pie and turkey go together. This just ups the pie game.
