Recipe Expert Tips

  • Pie crusts: This recipe makes two 9-inch deep dish pies. You can use homemade crusts if you have the time. Or you can buy a box of two Pillsbury ready made refrigerated pie crusts.
  • Pumpkin puree: You can used store bought canned pumpkin puree or make homemade pumpkin puree. It is very easy to make Instant Pot Pumpkin Puree or Crock Pot Pumpkin Puree.
  • Homemade pumpkin puree: If using homemade pumpkin puree strain it through a fine mesh strainer to remove as much moisture as possible. It should be as thick as canned puree is.
  • Combining the sugar and spices: It is very important to whisk the spices with the sugar. This helps evenly distribute the ground spices through out the pie filling ingredients.
  • Filling the pie crust: Do not overfill the pie crusts or they will overflow as they bake.
  • Moving the filled unbaked pies: Place the filled pie pans on a cookie sheet to carry them to the oven. Slid the cookie sheet into the oven and bake. This will help prevent the filling from moving around and getting onto the edge of the pie crust where it may burn as the pie bakes.
  • How to keep the top of homemade pumpkin pie from getting wet?:The hack to prevent moisture from beading on the top of a homemade pumpkin pie is to make sure the baked pie has completely cooled to room temperature before refrigerating.
