I saw one of those posts on Facebook the other day that said, “Only 8 more weekends until Christmas!” Holy moly, you guys… where has this year gone? 8 more weekends till Christmas means only 4 more weekends until Thanksgiving, so I think it’s about time to start busting out some holiday recipes, don’t you? Good… I’m so glad you agree!

I’ve used the same recipe for pumpkin pie for as long as I can remember, and I would imagine 99% of the population probably does too. Why fix what isn’t broken, right? But what if we made a pumpkin pie with a sweet, crunchy streusel topping… toasted pecans, warm cinnamon, butter and brown sugar… now THAT I can do! A typical pumpkin pie is delicious, but when you add a crunchy, nutty, sugary-sweet topping to a smooth, creamy, luscious pie filling, the results are just downright magical. Imagine putting a slice of pecan pie on top of a slice of pumpkin pie… are you drooling yet, my friends?

This pie is definitely going to be on my table for the holidays, and I hope it will be on yours too… enjoy, guys!

xoxo Liz

Author: Liz Fourez
Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • For the filling:
  • 1 - 15 ounce can pumpkin puree
  • 1 - 12 ounce can evaporated milk
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • For the topping:
  • ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • ¾ cup pecans, chopped

  • 1 refrigerated pie crust or homemade
  • whipped cream, for garnish
Instructions
  1. Heat the oven to 425ĀŗF. Place the pie crust in a 9" deep dish pie plate and crimp the crust edges, if desired. Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork and set aside.
  2. For the filling: In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg and salt until completely combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350ĀŗF and bake the pie another 30 minutes. While the pie bakes, prepare the topping (see below). Sprinkle the topping evenly over the pie and bake for another 15 minutes, until a knife inserted into the center of the pie comes out clean. Cool the pie at room temperature on a wire rack for 2 hours, then chill for another 2 hours before serving. Store the pie in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  3. For the topping: Add the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon to a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse again until small crumbs of butter are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Then add the pecans and pulse once or twice more to combine.
Notes
- If you do not have a food processor to make the streusel topping, here's an easy tip: Place the butter in the freezer for about a half hour. Then add the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon to a large bowl and stir to combine. Grate the frozen butter over the bowl, add the pecans, and stir to combine.

    Hi Liz! I love your blog and am so excited about your book. It’s a little frustrating though, because I’ve noticed that your blog is sooo slow to load and even leaving this comment is taking foever! At first, I thought it was just my computer being slow, but yours is the only blog that I’ve noticed this issue on. Not sure why this is, but wonder if other people notice it too? Hugs, Kell

A weird side angle of the living room as proof tha A weird side angle of the living room as proof that a giant TV does in fact exist in here, and we are just a normal family who loves movie nights snuggled up on the couch with the dog & football Sundays with all the yummy food during the game (one benefit of having an open concept living/dining room). I purposely placed the TV in a spot where it isn’t the main focal point of the room and designed the space to draw your eye to other much prettier things like the big picture window just to the left of this photo.

Want to try something like this in your living room? See if you can arrange the furniture so the TV isn’t the main focal point in the room, but still has visibility from the majority of your seating. Try making the focus a fireplace, window, or create a gallery wall with pretty artwork if you don’t have any standout architectural elements!

Just a little tidbit of advice I’ve learned & loved & wanted to pass along... Happy Monday, sweet friends!

A little bit of work & a whole lot of relaxing wit A little bit of work & a whole lot of relaxing with my favorite humans this weekend. I have some fun things to share with you on the blog this week & several house projects going on (the dining & living room are looking SO good!!), but I need to recharge and spend some quality time doing my most important job on this Earth... taking care of my people. šŸ¤

What are your plans for the weekend? Whatever they are, I hope you have a chance to laugh, rest, eat something delicious, and enjoy a little sunshine (even if it’s sitting indoors because it’s very brrrr outside)!

Quite possibly my favorite view in the house. And Quite possibly my favorite view in the house. And also quite possibly the best place for morning snuggles, second cups of coffee, and the occasional Netflix binge. This room was ā€œshiplappedā€ over 5 years ago now, but it has never felt like a passing fad or overly trendy with a mix of other vintage & traditional elements in the room. These big, wide planks have my whole heart just as much as the day we installed them back in 2015.

What’s your opinion on shiplap? In? Out? Vertical? Horizontal? Focal wall or the entire room? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

NEW! THE ARMSTRONG HOUSE LIVING ROOM REVEAL Last NEW! THE ARMSTRONG HOUSE LIVING ROOM REVEAL

Last time I shared an update on Mom’s house, I had just revealed the completed renovation, and you were able to see all the freshly painted white walls, new carpet & flooring, and a very stark blank canvas. We intentionally made this space light, bright, & neutral since 1) it’s a rental home, and we want it to appeal to a variety of styles. And 2) it’s VERY small, so the light paint makes it feel much more open & spacious than dark paint would! But all those white walls were in desperate need of a warm, cozy touch, and that’s exactly what Mom and I did…

1ļøāƒ£ a piece of handmade art that brings me back to my elementary schools days of paper mache creations.
