Tips
- Do not buy pumpkin pie spice; use individual spices: cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
- Place the pie on a sheet pan before baking, just in case of spills.
- The pie should jiggle slightly when done, as it will settle as it cools.
- Cool the pie completely, and consider chilling it in the fridge for a slightly chilled pumpkin pie.
