How to Make Pumpkin Pie
You'll find the full, step-by-step recipe below — but here's a brief overview of what you can expect when you make this easy pumpkin pie:
- Mix up the filling and pour it into the pie crust.
- Bake at 425 degrees F for about 15 minutes, then at 350 degrees F until the filling is set.
How to Tell When Pumpkin Pie Is Done
The best and easiest way to check if your pumpkin pie is done? Insert a knife into the pie, about an inch away from the crust. If it comes out clean, the filling is set and it's ready to remove from the oven.

This easy pumpkin pie is delicious enough to serve as-is, but you can’t go wrong by pairing it with a dollop of homemade whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
How Long Does Pumpkin Pie Last In the Fridge?
Since pumpkin pie has an egg-rich filling, it should always be stored in the refrigerator. Cover the pie with storage wrap and store in the fridge for three to four days.
