Hazelnut Pumpkin Pie Recipes

LINZER-HAZELNUT PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Make the crust and topping: Combine the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a medium bowl and mix with a fork. Drizzle in the melted butter and mix until well combined. Remove 3/4 cup of the mixture to a small bowl; add the hazelnuts and mix with your fingers until large clumps form. This will be the topping; refrigerate until ready to use. Press the remaining mixture into the bottom and up the side of a 9-inch pie plate. Freeze until firm, about 10 minutes.
• Prick the bottom and side of the crust in several places with a fork. Line with foil, then fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until lightly golden around the edge, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the foil and weights (if the foil sticks to the crust, you may need to bake it a few more minutes). Continue baking until the bottom of the crust is dry and lightly browned, 5 to 8 more minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 5 minutes, then use a small spoon to gently press together any small cracks while the crust is still warm. Spread the jelly over the bottom and up the side; let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Whisk the pumpkin puree, half-and-half, granulated sugar, eggs and cinnamon in a large bowl until smooth. Set the cooled crust on a rimmed baking sheet; pour in the pumpkin filling (it will be quite full). Bake 20 minutes, then remove from the oven and sprinkle with the hazelnut topping. Continue baking until the filling is set, 30 to 40 more minutes. (Tent with foil if the pie is browning too quickly.) Transfer to the rack and let cool completely. Lightly dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.

PUMPKIN-CARAMEL TART WITH TOASTED-HAZELNUT CRUST

Steps:

• Crust:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until fragrant and slightly darkened, 8-10 minutes; let cool. Using a kitchen towel, rub hazelnuts together to remove most of the skins (don't worry about some stubborn bits remaining).
• Pulse flour, sugar, salt, and 3/4 cup hazelnuts in a food processor until the consistency of coarse meal. Reserve remaining 1/2 cup hazelnuts for filling. Add butter to dry ingredients and pulse until there are only a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining.
• Transfer mixture to a large bowl; drizzle 3 Tbsp. ice water over and mix, adding another splash or so of water if needed, just to bring dough together.
• Using your fingers, press dough evenly 1 1/2"-2" up the sides and then into the bottom of pan; compact and smooth with a flat, straight-sided measuring cup or glass. Chill 20 minutes.
• Bake crust until golden but not totally baked through, 15-20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool 10 minutes.
• Filling and assembly:
• Meanwhile, bring cream of tartar, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 2 Tbsp. water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to mediumhigh and cook, swirling pan occasionally (do not stir), until caramel is a deep amber color, 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisking constantly, carefully add cream (mixture will be extremely hot and will bubble vigorously); whisk until smooth. Let caramel cool slightly in pot.
• Whisk pumpkin purée, brown sugar, flour, ginger, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Gradually add caramel and eggs, whisking until well blended. Scrape filling into prepared crust.
• Bake tart, rotating halfway through, until filling is set around edges and center barely jiggles, 30-35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool in pan.
• Meanwhile, coarsely chop reserved 1/2 cup hazelnuts and cook in a small skillet over medium heat with remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 1 Tbsp. water, stirring constantly, until sugar caramelizes and evenly coats hazelnuts. Transfer caramelized hazelnuts to a sheet of parchment paper and let cool completely. Coarsely chop. Scatter caramelized hazelnuts over tart and serve with whipped cream.
• Do ahead
• Tart (without nuts) can be made 2 days ahead; cover and chill. Hazelnuts can be caramelized 2 days ahead; store airtight at room temperature.
