Pie. It’s the beloved bring-along holiday dessert! Pie is now more popular than ever with savory and sweet\u00a0shops popping up all over the city like A La Mode Pies<\/a>, \u00a0Pie Bar<\/a> and High 5 Pie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget about the ever popular Art of the Pie workshops<\/a> from pie aficionado Kate McDermott. She even holds Pie Camp\u00ae Retreats – now that sounds like a camp I\u2019d like to go to!<\/p>\n

But back to the pie – The holidays are coming up and that means lots of pie! Apple, pumpkin, pecan — everyone has a favorite.<\/p>\n

Why not get a little creative with the classics? Toss some cranberries into your apple filling, or add a little chopped rosemary. You can have some fun with the crust too: I like to add goodies such as fine chopped walnuts or almonds, citrus zest, or even poppy seeds.<\/p>\n

Maybe everyone wants something different – pecan or pumpkin? Just a little bite of this or a tiny slice of that. Well, I have the perfect fix: my \u201cGimme Both\u201d Pumpkin-Pecan Pie<\/strong> has a luscious layer of pumpkin filling and another of sweet pecan! Top it with a poof of bourbon whipped cream and everyone wins!<\/p>\n

Oh, and one more thing \u2013 pie for breakfast? Yes please! It\u2019s the holidays \u2013 go ahead and splurge a little!

“Gimme Both” Pumpkin Pecan Pie With Bourbon Whipped Cream<\/strong>
\nMakes 1 9-inch pie.<\/p>\n

1 9-inch uncooked pie shell (recipe follows)<\/p>\n

Pumpkin Layer<\/u>
\n3\/4 cup canned pumpkin
\n1\/4 cup sugar
\n1 egg
\n3 Tbsp. sour cream
\n1\/4 tsp. ground ginger
\n1\/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
\n1\/8 tsp. ground cloves
\n1\/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
\n1\/4 tsp. salt<\/p>\n

Pecan Layer<\/u>
\n1\/2 cup dark brown sugar
\n3\/4 cup dark corn syrup
\n2 eggs
\n1 Tbsp. butter, melted
\n1 tsp. vanilla
\n1 cup pecans, halves or pieces<\/p>\n

Bourbon Whipped Cream<\/u>
\n1 cup whipping cream
\n3 Tbsp. sour cream
\n3 Tbsp. light brown sugar
\n1 Tbsp. bourbon<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.<\/p>\n

In a medium bowl whisk together the Pumpkin Layer ingredients. Set aside.<\/p>\n

In another bowl combine all the Pecan Layer ingredients except the pecans and mix until smooth, then stir in pecans.<\/p>\n

Place the pumpkin mixture into the unbaked pie shell, then very carefully spoon the Pecan Layer over the top, being careful to keep the layers separate. Bake in a preheated 425-degree oven for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake pie for another 25 – 30 minutes or until the filling is slightly puffy and pecan layer is just set.<\/p>\n

Cool on a wire rack.<\/p>\n

To make Bourbon Whipped Cream: In a large bowl whip cream, sour cream and sugar until lightly whipped. Stir in bourbon.<\/p>\n

Serve pie with dollops of Bourbon Whipped Cream. Store pie covered and refrigerated.<\/p>\n
