Frequently Asked Questions
To make sure your pie doesn’t crack, don’t overbake it. Remove it from the oven as soon as the filling is set and allow it to cool. If your pie does happen to crack, it’s not the end of the world. Top it off with a dollop of whipped cream and it’ll be just as delicious.
100% canned pumpkin is made purely out of pumpkin. Pumpkin puree contains pumpkin but it can sometimes contain a mix of other winter squash, so make sure to check the ingredients if that’s a concern.
