Tuesday's With Dorie, Take 1

I recently signed up with the on-line food blog Tuesday's With Dorie. The concept is that every Tuesday I will be baking and blogging this particular weeks challenge recipe. This week, in recognition of Thanksgiving, the pie is the Thanksgiving Twofer Pie. This pie is a pumpkin pie / pecan pie combination. Ideal for the person who wants a slice of each. It sounded delicious, so I attempted it. I should have posted this yesterday, but alas, it just did not happen...more on this reason later.

I had all the ingredients on hand. The crust is a different recipe from the no-fail crust that I usually make. This was very easy to make. I went to take it out of the oven after the recommended time, and I found that it was not quite done, so I let bake longer. By the time it finally tested as "done" it was much browner than I preferred.

I sliced into the pie and I realized that I was about to have a mess on my hand. The filling was very soft and did not want to hold up. It tasted delicious, although a little on the sweet side for me. The rum in the recipe really made a delicious flavor in the pie. The pie may look overdone, but did not taste overdone at all.

This is a pie that I will definitely make again, but with a little less sugar. I am thrilled with my first Tuesday's With Dorie (TWD) challenge. I am looking forward to next weeks baking!
