Total Time 2 hours hrs 45 minutes mins
- 2 cups graham crackers crushed
- 1 stick butter softened
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 29 oz can 100% pumpkin puree I use Libby's
- 1 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ginger
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 1 12 oz can evaporated milk
- 1 1/2 cup raw pecans chopped, divided
- 1 8 oz container frozen whipped topping I use Cool Whip
Pre-heat your over to 400F. In a large bowl, combine the graham crackers, butter, brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of pecans and mix well. Press the graham cracker crust mixture into the bottom of a 13 x 9 baking dish and bake for 12-15 minutes. In another large mixing bowl, add the pumpkin puree, sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Mix well and split in half, place one of the halves aside in the refrigerator. Next, add vanilla, eggs, and evaporated milk, mix well, then pour the mixture into your graham cracker crust. Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the pumpkin pie to cool completely.
Take out the other half pumpkin mixture from the refrigerator and stir in your whipped topping. Add this to the top of your baked pumpkin pie layer and spread evenly.
Sprinkle remaining cup of pecans over the top, slightly pressing them into the whipped topping. Refrigerate for a few hours, or overnight if possible.
