Not me. So very not me.
We spent Thanksgiving with my in-laws. Last year I brought a pumpkin pie. In the past I’ve made the crust from scratch, but that time I decided to go store-bought.
Why do frozen pie crusts always come in packs of two?
So I made up the pie mixture with pumpkin from our jack-o-lanterns. (A friend asked, “Were they cooking pumpkins?” “Uum, no…? But they’ve always worked before.”) I poured it into the frozen crust.
Apparently you’re supposed to pre-bake the crust before you bake it as a pie?!
The inside of the pie was done, but the crust was hard and raw.
Oops.
