cooking spray
2 (15 ounce) cans pumpkin puree
1 cup white sugar
2/3 cup evaporated milk
3 eggs
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (18.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix
1 cup butter, melted
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans
Caramel Sauce:
1 cup butter
2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Whipped Cream Topping:
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line bottoms and sides of two 9-inch pie pans with waxed paper. Spray with cooking spray.
2
Combine pumpkin puree, white sugar, and evaporated milk in a large bowl. Add eggs, cinnamon, and salt; beat with an electric mixer until batter is smooth.
3
Pour batter into prepared pans. Sprinkle yellow cake mix on top. Drizzle 1 cup melted butter over cake mix. Sprinkle pecans on top; press lightly into butter.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 50 to 60 minutes. Remove pans from the oven and let pies cool, about 2 hours.
5
Run a knife around the edges of the pans to loosen pies; invert onto serving plates. Peel off waxed paper. Place pies in the refrigerator.
6
Melt 1 cup butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add brown sugar and 1 cup heavy cream; cook and stir until sugar is dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Simmer caramel sauce until smooth, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
7
Beat 2 cups heavy cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until foamy. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla gradually, beating until soft peaks form.
8
Slice chilled pies into wedges. Drizzle caramel sauce over wedges; top with a dollop of whipped cream.
