This is hands down the best pumpkin pie I have ever had. And will probably ever have. If you don’t make this pumpkin pie you are seriously missing out. I owe the unique flavor to one key ingredient… caramel. Something about it just makes it that much better! Find out for yourself, and make my favorite caramel pumpkin pie for your next big holiday!

Everyone’s Favorite Caramel Pumpkin Pie Recipe

This is a little different from your traditional pumpkin pie; it’s light, fluffy and has a hint of caramel to make it super rich.

Make it with either the crust I show here or, if you need a quicker and easier option, it is really nice with a graham cracker crust too.

But first…

Watch How To Make AMAZING Microwave Mug Pies!

How cool is that? I know I’ll be trying that out with different recipes every night until Thanksgiving… And now, my favorite recipe of the season:

How to Make Perfect Decadent Caramel Pumpkin Pie

Ingredients for the crust:

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 small egg
  • 2/3 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for kneading
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of salt

 

Step 1. Sift flour and baking soda together.

Step 2. Melt butter and allow to cool.

Step 3. Whisk together olive oil and egg and then stir in the yogurt.

 

Step 4. Stir melted butter into yogurt mixture, adding a little flour as you go if it starts to curdle.

Step 5. Gradually stir in the remaining flour and mix to form a soft dough.

Step 6. Turn out onto a floured surface and kneed for a few minutes, then roll out to fit your dish.

Step 7. Fill with pie weights (or aluminum foil and dry beans!) and bake at 375F until golden brown.

Filling with Dry Beans

 

Ingredients for the pie:

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 15oz can of solid pack pumpkin, or homemade pumpkin puree
  • 1 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, fresh is best
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten

Step 1. Bring sugar and water to a boil in a large pan, stirring while the sugar dissolves.

How to Make Syrup

As it boils, switch to swirling the pan instead of stirring, and occasionally wash the sides of the pan down with a pastry brush dipped in water. The syrup / caramel will start to turn brown and thick and delicious!

 

Step Two: Reduce heat to medium and add 1 cup of cream; the caramel will boil up, but stir constantly until it dissolves. Stir in second cup of cream and simmer for a few minutes.

Step Three: Combine pumpkin and spices in a bowl and mix.

Step Four: Whisk in hot cream mixture.

Whisking Ingredients

 

Step Five: Add salt to the beaten eggs and add to the pumpkin / cream mixture, whisking.

Step Six: Pour into crust and bake at 375F for 60 minutes, or until center is just set.
