What is most pumpkin pie filling made of?

A quick and easy alternative to creating homemade pumpkin pie is to use a store-bought pumpkin pie mix (often called “pumpkin pie filling”). In addition to additional spices including cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves, it contains puréed pumpkin. Sugar and other chemical additions are also present.

How do you keep pumpkin pie from getting soggy?

The most popular method for preventing a soggy pie crust is blind baking. Blind baking is prebaking the crust to firm and crisp up before adding any wet filling. The crust may be covered with foil or parchment and held down with pie weights to keep it from bubbling over.

What makes pumpkin pie taste so good?
