Pumpkin Butterscotch Blondie Pie Recipes

PUMPKIN BLONDIES WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE AND PECANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9 pan with foil and grease it. Set aside.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue to cook, stirring or swirling the pan occasionally until the butter becomes a golden brown color and starts to smell nutty. Watch it carefully and make sure the bits on the bottom of the pan do not burn. Remove from heat and cool the brown butter slightly.
• In a large bowl combine brown butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, and pumpkin, whisking until combined.
• In a separate bowl, combine flour, pie spice, baking powder, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until combined. Stir in the white chocolate chips and pecans (I reserve a few to press onto the top of the batter, as it makes for a prettier appearance).
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out without raw batter on it.
• Cool slightly before cutting and serving.

PUMPKIN BUTTERSCOTCH BLONDIE PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar in a large bowl. Stir in the melted butter until evenly moistened. Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate (use the bottom of a measuring cup to help). Bake until firm and golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in the pumpkin and brown sugar to dissolve. Remove from the heat and whisk in the egg, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Whisk in the flour until smooth, then stir in the butterscotch chips. Scrape the filling into the crust and smooth the top.
• Bake the pie until the top is golden and begins cracking and a toothpick comes out mostly clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely, at least 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the ganache: Combine the white chocolate and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until almost melted, about 1 minute 30 seconds; stir until smooth. (It's OK if a little oil separates out.) Stir in the pumpkin puree until smooth.
• Gently pour the pumpkin ganache onto the cooled pie and spread to the edges. Top with shaved white chocolate. Refrigerate the pie until set, about 40 minutes. Return to room temperature before serving.

PUMPKIN PIE BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray.
• Mold the pie crust to fit the pan. It may be thin in some spots; that's ok, just try to get it as even as possible.
• Beat butter and brown sugar together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat 1 egg into the butter until completely blended; repeat with the second egg.
• Mix flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl. Add to pumpkin mixture and beat to combine. Fold butterscotch chips and pecans into the mixture; pour into the pie crust.
• Bake in preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
