When that luscious fall spice smell is wafting through your home, it’s a sure sign that a pumpkin pie is in the oven, and you might soon be on the lookout for leftover pumpkin pie filling recipes. 🥧
Why?
Several reasons come to mind.
When baking a homemade pumpkin pie there is often some filling left over that does not fit in the pie crust, especially if you didn’t use a deep-dish crust and pan.
Other times, a recipe may call for only half the can and there you are with half a can needing to figure out how to use the leftover pumpkin pie filling.
Or, you might need recipes for leftover pumpkin pie filling when you actually have a whole can you want to use up or is getting close to its expiration date.
Pumpkin pie filling, whether purchased or homemade, has an unforgettable smell of not only pumpkin, but also the addition of nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and sometimes allspice.
In these cases, since the pumpkin pie filling already has the spices added, the pumpkin pie filling takes the place of the pumpkin puree (you’ll love this 15 Tasty Pumpkin Puree Dessert Recipes), the pumpkin spices or even the sugar, depending on how sweet you want the end dish to be.
Some will say the two are not interchangeable, but if you are equipped with the knowledge that pumpkin pie mix already has spices and some sugar, you can adjust the other ingredients so the end result is about equal.
What is amazing about pumpkin is how easily it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes.
Most of these recipes using leftover pumpkin pie filling unashamedly lean towards the sweet side of things since the filling is already sweetened.
There are indeed many leftover pumpkin pie filling uses from breakfast to dessert!
As pumpkins are nature’s messengers signaling the change of season from summer to autumn, I wish you the happiest of seasons and new tasty discoveries as you make leftover pumpkin pie filling recipes you’ll love!
