Salted Caramel Pumpkin Pecan Pie is the best Thanksgiving pie mash up ever! So rich and flavorful! Delicious salted caramel and a pumpkin cheesecake filling tops this traditional pecan pie. Sooo Yummy!
Happy Wednesday, Friends! Is it just me.....or are these fall weeks flying by!? I feel like I have no idea where the first 11 days of November went, and I find it hard to believe that in two short weeks we'll be celebrating Thanksgiving! Time to pull out the apron and get cooking (and baking, and everything in between).....but before that, it's time to start menu planning. Today I'm joining together with more than 25 fabulous bloggers to bring you one AMAZING Thanksgiving dinner menu, with so many delicious options you'll hardly know where to begin!
Well, for today at least, we're going to start at the end. With dessert! (Which, in my family, is also known as the best part of the meal!) When my family gets together, there is never a shortage of desserts. No.....our theory is definitely the more, the merrier!
Salted Caramel Pumpkin Pecan Pie
So it is not at all uncommon for us to have 4 or 6 desserts at one gathering.....and for a holiday like Thanksgiving, that number could easily be more. Of course, with so many delicious options in front of us, it is not at all uncommon for us to sample a small piece of each. (How could we possibly begin to choose....??)
So when I offered to make a dessert for today's blog hop, you better believe I was inspired by my family's love of desserts. More specifically, I was inspired by our long-held belief that more is MORE....and that you should really never have to choose between desserts.
Salted Caramel Pumpkin Pecan Pie
This Salted Caramel Pumpkin Pecan Pie has a little bit of everything, from pumpkin to pecan to cheesecake to caramel.....all in one delicious slice. And best of all, it's SO easy to make! All you need is an hour and a couple handfuls of ingredients, and you're well on your way to a Thanksgiving dessert fit for even the most dessert-loving of families. Not to mention a blog hop! So be sure you grab my recipe below....and then hop around to all the pages and plan your Thanksgiving menu as you go. And don't forget - you can never have too much to choose from. Enjoy!!!!

This looks like THE pie to serve this Thanksgiving - I love the flavors! And, YES time is flying at warp speed - just too fast I'm afraid! I think the months ahead are going to just be unlike any other year. My kids are getting bigger - and busier (I think that goes with the territory. The bigger they get, leads me to "needing" more time with them...and wishing we had more!

2 questions: 1. cheesecake; do you pour it on top & bake or just put a scoop on & drizzle with caramel 2. Caramel sauce; just drizzled on top or poured on & baked? It's kind of hard to tell from the picture, what's drizzled on doesn't look much different than the scoop. Just wondering.

Can you freeze this pie?
