About
This Maple Pumpkin Pie brings together the classic flavor of pumpkin with the warm, rich sweetness of maple syrup. So that's fantastic just on its own! A creamy pumpkin filling baked into a flaky pie crust would be wonderful all on its own, too. But then! Then, this pie is topped with fluffy maple whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped pecans. Whether served at a holiday gathering or as a seasonal treat, Maple Pumpkin Pie really captures the beautiful flavors of autumn.
