Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
- 3 large eggs
- One 12-ounce can evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or pure vanilla extract
- Kosher salt
- One 15-ounce can pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
- One 15.25-ounce box spice cake mix
- 3 graham crackers (each 2 1/2-by-5 1/4 inches)
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
- 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, diced
- Ice cream or whipped cream, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Combine the eggs, evaporated milk, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla and 1 teaspoon salt in the prepared dish and whisk to combine. Whisk in the pumpkin puree and brown sugar. Sprinkle evenly with the cake mix. Crush the graham crackers by hand and sprinkle them over the cake mix. Top with the pecans and then dot with the butter. Bake the pie until the edges are set and the top is golden brown, about 1 hour (the middle will still jiggle slightly). Let cool 20 minutes.

Reviews
I made this for Thanksgiving and it was such a hit! I recommend mixing the pumpkin mix in a bowl, versus the pan, and yes you sprinkle the entire box of spice cake mix on top (I questioned this at first).
The recipe is great as-is, but I kicked it up a notch by crumbling 4-5 additional graham crackers on top, adding one or two more fistfuls of pecans, and an additional half stick of butter because of the added toppings. To top it all off, I sprinkled brown sugar on top to caramelize and added sea salt last, because I’m a sucker for salty-sweetness. Hope you enjoy!
This was gross. Pie filling was bland and the cake part of it did not set at all. Dumped it in the trash.
Super easy to make and delicious! Received great reviews from all my Thanksgiving guests! I will definitely be adding this to my holiday season dessert list.
Delicious delicious even though I forgot to add the eggs. It turned out more like a pudding. The family still raved about it. I only used 1 stick of butter. No need for 2.
Loved it however it’s so much better chilled. Loved the easy in one dish mix-cook-serve.
I just made this! Absolutely easy and soooo delicious!!! This is definitely a keeper!
Is there a step missing? It says “…Whisk in the pumpkin puree and brown sugar. Sprinkle evenly with the cake mix…” At what point do you put ingredients in the pan?
Great
