Should I Prebake pie crust for pumpkin pie? ›

Typically, the crust takes longer to cook than the filling. This is often the case for pie recipes with custard fillings, like this chocolate chess pie, this pumpkin pie, or this rhubarb custard pie. Pre baking the crust for those types of pies will give the pie crust a head start by partially baking it.

How do you keep the bottom crust of pumpkin pie from getting soggy? ›

Often, blind-baking solves this problem. If you're making a single crust custard-filled pie, like a pumpkin pie, bake the pie dough first before adding filling to allow some of the moisture in the crust to evaporate. You can also totally blind-bake fruit pies.

Is it OK to leave pumpkin pie out overnight? ›

The FDA's official stance is that homemade pumpkin pie is OK at room temperature for up to two hours. That's plenty of time for you to linger over dessert! Just note: The two-hour window doesn't include the time needed to let a freshly baked pie cool completely, which is also important for food safety.
