A quick rundown – making homemade pumpkin pie:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F
- Lay crust in your pie dish, decorating the edges however you prefer. Poke some small holes in the bottom of the dish using a fork and line with parchment paper. Fill the parchment paper with dry rice, dry beans or pie weights. Blind bake for for 10 minutes.
- While the crust blind bakes, measure all ingredients for pie filling into a large mixing bowl and whisk them together.
- Take crust out of the oven once it’s done blind baking. Remove parchment paper and weights. Pour filling into the pie crust.
- Bake pie for 50-60 minutes or until internal temperature of the pie reaches 175°F.
- Chill pie in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours before serving. Ideally, you’ll want to chill the pie overnight.
- Serve with whip cream if desired! Enjoy!
Handy Tips:
- Pumpkin pie is a custard so even when it’s done baking, it will still be slightly wobbly in the center! This is normal. Avoid the temptation to overbake. A food thermometer is incredibly helpful when making pumpkin pie. Stick the thermometer in the very center of the pie (be careful not to touch the bottom of the dish as this will result in an inaccurate reading). Once the center temperature reads 175°F, remove from the oven.
- Blind baking a pie crust keeps it from getting soggy when you add your filling (a quick FYI: not every type of pie will require a blind bake). A blind bake is a partial bake of your crust, some recipes will call for a pre-bake or fully baked crust prior to adding filling. A pre-bake generally comes into play when you’re using a filling that requires no time in the oven at all (think chocolate pudding pie)! When you blind bake your crust, lining it with parchment paper and filling it with dry rice, dry beans or pie weights helps to maintain the structure of the crust and lessens risks of the crust shrinking or bubbling.
- If you use dry rice or beans for blind baking, be sure to save them. You can use them for making pies all season long! Simply label a small storage container and place in your pantry or cupboard for future use.
