Pecan Streusel Pumpkin Pie 🥧🎃🌰 Creamy Pumpkin Spice Filling with a Buttery Pecan Crunch

This pie marries the smooth richness of pumpkin custard with the irresistible texture of pecan streusel. The spiced crumble topping bakes into a crisp, nutty layer that turns a classic pumpkin pie into something truly show-stopping.

Ingredients (Makes 1 standard 9-inch pie)

For the crust

• 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)

For the pumpkin filling

• 1 (15 oz) can pure pumpkin purée
• ¾ cup brown sugar (light or dark)
• 2 large eggs + 1 egg yolk
• 1 cup evaporated milk or heavy cream
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp ground ginger
• ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
• ¼ tsp ground cloves
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the pecan streusel

• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• ¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
• ¾ cup chopped pecans

For serving

• Whipped cream
• Extra toasted pecans (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the crust

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Place pie crust into dish, crimp edges, and prick bottom with a fork.
• Blind bake for 10 minutes to help prevent sogginess. Lower oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2: Make the filling

• In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, brown sugar, eggs, cream, spices, salt, and vanilla until smooth.

Step 3: Assemble pie

• Pour pumpkin filling into the partially baked crust.

Step 4: Make the streusel

• In a bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter or fork until crumbly. Stir in pecans.
• Sprinkle evenly over the pumpkin filling.

Step 5: Bake

• Bake 50–60 minutes, until filling is set at edges and slightly wobbly in the center. If streusel browns too quickly, tent with foil.
• Cool completely, then chill at least 3–4 hours before slicing.

Step 6: Serve

• Top with whipped cream and extra pecans if desired.

Flavor Variations

• Add a pinch of cayenne or black pepper to the streusel for warmth
• Use maple sugar in the topping for a deeper sweetness
• Swap half the pecans for walnuts or almonds
• Add orange zest to the filling for brightness

Pro Tips

• Keep butter cold for a crumbly streusel texture
• Don’t overbake — the center should jiggle slightly when you pull it out
• Chill fully for clean slices and a firmer texture
• Toast pecans before adding to streusel for more flavor

Pecan Streusel Pumpkin Pie is creamy, crunchy, and layered with fall flavors. It’s like two desserts in one — a spiced pumpkin custard and a pecan crumble, baked together into a slice of holiday magic.
