This coming Monday we celebrate\u00a0Canadian Thanksgiving! And as we all know, Thanksgiving without Pumpkin Pie just does not feel right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea for this non-traditional Pumpkin Pie came to me while watching Nancy Fuller do something similar with apples and decided to make my own version using those too-firm-to-eat pears, I got at the market the other day. Everyone loved the result so much that it was declared the best pumpkin pie ever. Or at least this year’s favourite! I just had to sahre the recipe with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why this Caramel Pear Pumpkin Pie is secretly the best Pumpkin Pie ever:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I know, a classic is a classic and everyone claims to have found the best pumpkin pie recipe out there, but give this one a change. Trust me, you’ll be surprised!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s talk about the layers of this pumpkin pie for a minute. On top of the Caramelized Pear layer, we find our Classic Pumpkin Pie Filling, so pumpkin pie lovers will get what they came for! But here’s the thing: Even if you have Pumpkin Pie – Haters in your family, this recipe might still be worth trying. I am pretty sure it has conversion potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Pie Crust, I used my go-to recipe for All Butter Pie Crust.<\/a> Keep in mind, that we only need a single crust, so either halve the recipe or store the other half in the freezer for the next pie!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The combination of the flaky, all-butter crust<\/a>, the creamy and rich Pumpkin Pie Filling and the sweet, fruity pears is simply divine! For my pear filling, I used firm pears as they will keep their shape better when caramelized – we don’t want pear mush, but texture!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
