Ingredients
Crust:
1/4 cup pecans
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 to 3 tablespoons ice water
Filling:
One 15-ounce can pumpkin puree
1 cup half-and-half
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 eggs
Pecan Topping:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped
Maple Whipped Cream:
2 cups heavy whipping cream
4 tablespoons Grade B maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Directions
Special equipment:
eight 8-ounce Mason jars- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the crust: In a food processor, pulse the pecans until finely chopped. Add the flour and salt; pulse until combined. Add the butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. With the machine running, add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, checking to see if the dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed before adding more water. Measure 1/4 cup of the dough into eight 8-ounce Mason jars. Form the crust by pressing the dough into the bottom of the jars.
- For the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, half-and-half, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, salt, nutmeg and eggs. Pour 1/2 cup of the filling into each jar.
- For the pecan topping: Add the melted butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla and salt to a medium bowl and mix until well combined. Add the pecans and stir. Gently pour 1/4 cup of the pecan topping on top of the pumpkin filling in each jar.
- Place the jars on a baking sheet and bake until set at the center and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
- For the maple whipped cream: With an electric mixer, beat the cream until soft peaks form. Add the maple syrup, vanilla and nutmeg. Beat until fully mixed and stiff peaks form.
- Top the pies with maple whipped cream and serve.
