Hubby brought home a frozen pumpkin pie, and I decided to dress it up with this recipe. Although I loved the praline topping (and using whole pecans, it was actually very pretty), I think that I prefer regular pumpkin pie. I don't need to mess with a classic. Still this is a good idea for those frozen pies.
