How to Prepare Simple and Healthy Pecan Pumpkin Pie [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

In a food processor, combine the crust ingredients and process for about 3 minutes. The dough should stick together when pressed between your fingers.
In a pie dish coated with a non-stick cooking spray, press the dough to make the crust. Set aside until ready for the filling.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Wash out the food processor and add in the filling ingredients. Process for about 3-5 minutes or until the dates are just tiny little specks. The filling should be very smooth.
Scoop the filling onto the crust and smooth over with a spatula. Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes. If the top of the crust looks like it's getting a little too brown you can add some strips of tinfoil or a pie crust protector over it.
Remove from oven and chill completely before serving.
