- 1 egg
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice* See notes for a homemade recipe

Instructions

Pumpkin Pie Filling

- Pour the mixture into the bottom of your chilled pie crust.
Pecan Pie Filling
- Cream together the sugar and butter until combined.
- Add one egg at a time, scraping down the sides if needed until the eggs are fully incorporated.
- Add the maple syrup, salt, vanilla and Tawny Port until combined.
- Stir in half of the pecans.
Make the Pie
- Carefully spoon the pecan pie over the pumpkin filling.
- Some of the two filling will mix, this is OK, but try your best to be careful with the pecan filling so you will get two layers of pie!
- Once you have added all of the pecan pie filling to the crust, sprinkle on the remaining pecans and chocolate chips.
- Place the pie in the middle rack of the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes or until the center just has a little jiggle to it.
- If the top of the pie is burning before the center is done, cover with foil.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before serving.
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- Store in the fridge and bring to room temp before serving if desired.
