Canned pumpkin purée is quick and easy to use. Don't substitute fresh pumpkin purée in this pie; it will be too watery.

Improvement on Your Pies
- Pie Crust: For a flaky and crisp crust, use a combination of butter and shortening, and make sure to work the ingredients together until just combined. If you overwork the pie crust, it will become tough.
- Pie Filling: Use fresh and ripe fruit for the best pie fillings. If you're using canned or冷凍 fruit, be sure to thaw and/or dry them before using.
- Baking the Crust and Using Weights: Preheat your pie plate before adding the crust to prevent it from shrinking. Use pie plate shields/pie crust shields to prevent browning. Weighing down the crust with pie crust, rice, and/or sugary water before blind-baking will prevent the crust from bubbling up. If only using pie crust or rice, make sure to give the crust a final bake without the weight before adding the pie's final contents.
- Egg-based and Milk-based: For egg-based fillings, make sure the eggs are well beaten before adding them to the other ingredients. Add a bit of cornstarch or tapioca to thicken before adding milk/egg if a runnier texture wasn't desired.
- Toppings and Chilled Pies: For crumb crusts, add crushed pretzels or oats for additional texture and structure. Make sure the pie is completely chilled before serving to ensure that the flavors have time to meld and the textures to set.
- Oven and Refrigeration: Make sure your pie is properly cooled before storing it in the refrigerator. To re-harden the crust and re-fluff the meringue, try torching your pie.
