Here’s What You Need:

Pumpkin Pie Ingredients

• 1 cup organic pumpkin puree
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Pecan Topping Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
• 4 tablespoons cannabis-infused butter (melted)
• 1/2 teaspoon organic pure vanilla extract
• Optional garnishes: whipped cream or cool whip, vanilla ice cream, a dash of ground cinnamon, etc.

How to Make Pumpkin “Pecannabis” Pie

Pumpkin Pie Preparation

To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Next, in a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, egg, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg and salt.

Once fully mixed, pour the pumpkin pie batter into the unbaked pie shell, jiggling and tapping the pie crust after the pour to ensure all of the air bubbles escape, and to achieve an even finish.

The pumpkin pecan pie needs to bake for a total of 50 minutes, however, the initially plain pumpkin pie only needs to bake for 20 minutes before you add the pecan topping.

You want to bake the pumpkin pie before adding the pecan layer, because this will allow for the pie to set to the point where introducing the pecan topping won’t result in nuts sinking into the liquid-pumpkin-pie batter (I’ve learned this through experience!). A firmer, initial pumpkin layer will yield a prettier pie in the end.

Place the pumpkin pie into your preheated oven for around 20 minutes, or until the pie begins to set.

While the pumpkin pie has its first go-around in the oven, you can use this time to prepare the medicated pecan-topping.

Pecan Topping Preparation

To begin, melt the 4 tablespoons of cannabis-infused butter in a small saucepan over low-heat, or in a small glass bowl in the microwave.

Next, in a larger mixing bowl, combine the melted cannabis-infused butter, pecans, light brown sugar and vanilla extract.

Carefully remove the pumpkin pie from the oven and then proceed to add the pecan-topping in a single layer. You can smooth it with a spatula, if you like.

Then, put it back into the oven and bake for the remaining 30 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean when inserted into the middle of the pie.

Remove it from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool.

When ready to serve, cut the pie into slices and serve immediately with any one of the recommended garnishes.

Enjoy!
