Which Pumpkin Pie Recipe?

I love pumpkin pie. My mother’s recipe is the best (haven’t you heard that before?!). I love to make it partly because it has a scene-stealer ingredient—brown butter (which I’ll talk about another time).
But I’m always torn when I plan to make a pumpkin pie. Do I stick with that favorite—or do I try a new recipe? Pumpkin seems to be a happy partner with all kinds of special ingredients. And for some reason, I’m attracted to those recipes, always trying to imagine their outcome.
We have friends coming for dessert this next week, and I’m considering a recipe I found that tops the pumpkin pie with pecans. But then I found this recipe:
Maple Pumpkin Pie with Gingersnap Cookie Crust
Which to try?! Okay, both.
I’m currently trying to decide if I’m going to make and take the expected traditional apple pie to our Thanksgiving gathering, or if I’m going to try something new. I don’t like to mess with holiday traditions very much. . . .
Mmmm. What about a combo… brown butter recipe in the gingersnap crust? Just this evening I had a bit of pumpkin custard with a gingersnap. A perfect pair!
But I am especially intrigued by this brown butter. Can’t wait to read that post!
I never liked pumpkin pie until I tasted my mother’s…the absolute best. The secret…she told me, she always doubled the amount of sugar that the recipe called for. After that, I started making it and the same…delicious!
I would love to see the pumpkin pie recipe with the brown butter. I can’t find it on here. Is it posted?
Hi Debbie! We did not post about brown butter yet, but keep an eye out for it! Thanks for asking!
