| Servings: | 18 |
| Yield: | 1 9×13-inch pan |
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 1 (9 inch) prepared pie dough, thawed if frozen
- ¼ cup butter at room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 (11 ounce) package butterscotch chips
- ½ (2.25 ounce) package chopped pecans (Optional)
- 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar, or to taste (Optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare a 9×13-inch pan with cooking spray.
- Mold the pie crust to fit the pan. It may be thin in some spots; that’s ok, just try to get it as even as possible.
- Beat butter and brown sugar together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat 1 egg into the butter until completely blended; repeat with the second egg.
- Mix flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl. Add to pumpkin mixture and beat to combine. Fold butterscotch chips and pecans into the mixture; pour into the pie crust.
- Bake in preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes. Dust with confectioners’ sugar.

Reviews
I tested this recipe so I could give a review.The recipe was easy to make and turned out perfect for the products used. It did not say when to add the pumpkin puree so I put it in after I completely blended the eggs into the butter and sugar mixture. Also I made my own crust and the recipe did not say to spread it on the bottom only so I extended it up the sides and I also baked the crust for 10 minutes and then added the filler to it. The baking time was spot on. This turned out as expected it just needed a little more direction.
