Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin purée. Canned pumpkin purée can be used in a pinch, but fresh pumpkin purée will give your pie a richer, more flavorful taste. To make fresh pumpkin purée, simply roast a pumpkin until tender, then scoop out the flesh and purée it in a food processor or blender.
- Don't overmix the pie filling. Overmixing the pie filling can make it tough. Simply stir the ingredients together until they are combined.
- Blind bake the pie crust. Blind baking the pie crust prevents it from becoming soggy. To blind bake a pie crust, simply preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, line the pie crust with parchment paper, and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake the pie crust for 15-20 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the pie to set and firm up.
