Thanksgiving is looking good, y’all. 

Last week I shared a cheesy side and a quick way to make a bird. These two recipes alone would slay at your Thanksgiving feast. BUT! We need to have a quick chat about dessert. 

I feel like people are hard core about their Thanksgiving dessert. Really there is only one dessert that truly matters on Thanksgiving and that’s pie. I know, I know, I am always on team cake or brownie, but it when comes to this particular holiday, pie rules the dessert table. 

Of course, I can’t simply say pie rules without talking about what kind of pie. YIKES. This is where the Mason-Dixon line of flavor emerges and you’re either on one side of the crust or the other. Pumpkin or Pecan? Apple or Cherry? Cranberry or Sweet Potato? Where do your taste buds lie? 

What if your taste buds didn’t have to decide on a flavor? Today’s recipe is taking two of my favorite flavors and combining them into one delicious pie. This Salted Bourbon Pumpkin Pie with Pecan Stresuel will have you dancing with joy. The base of this pie is loaded with all the pumpkin flavors, but the top is sprinkled with a dusting of pecan. What’s not to like? 

Although, I will let you in on a little secret. The reason why this pie tastes off the charts is the Whole Wheat Flour I used. Bob’s Red Mill Whole Wheat Flour is what I like to call a miracle worker. Stone ground flour with an assortment of nutrients is a rock star when it comes to baking. Seriously, stock up on this flour because it will make your pies taste luxurious! 

So, are you ready to join team Pumpkin-Pecan? Thought so.
