A Thanksgiving Dessert to Remember
But what truly sets this dessert apart is the pecan streusel topping. As the pie bakes, a mixture of pecan halves, brown sugar, gluten-free flour, dairy-free butter, and more of that irresistible pumpkin pie spice is crafted to perfection. Once the pie has spent its initial time in the oven, you’ll generously sprinkle this streusel over the top, and it transforms into a crunchy, nutty, and utterly delicious layer. As the pie continues to bake, the streusel caramelizes, infusing each bite with a delightful contrast of textures and flavors. When your creation emerges from the oven, allow it to cool before indulging, and rest assured, you’ve just conquered the world of gluten-free, dairy-free, and exceptionally satisfying Thanksgiving desserts.
