I Made The Best Pumpkin Pie!

[Hummingbird4]

I just used the recipe on the label of Libby's pumpkin, but what was so good was my crust! I took a bunch of gluten-free gingersnaps (from Trader Joe's), crushed them in the food processor, mixed them with a little melted butter and pressed them into the pie plate. Baked at 350 for about 10 minutes and let cool before pouring in the pumpkin pie mixture. Bake as usual. It was heavenly. The gingersnap crust really added a nice touch, and it was so easy.

That's what I do for pumpkin pie! I love it. Aren't Trader Joe's the best ginger snaps EVER!!!?

YES! And the price is right, too. I just finished off the bag.

Hey peeps, I have ???

So I have wanted to try it. Is this how?

Make the cookie crust, then bake it for about 10 mins. Cool.

Fill with the Libby's recipe following baking directions on can, 425 for 15 mins, then 350 for 40-50 mins.

On other sites, I read theirs burned.

Do you have to cover the edges? Does the bottom burn? Do you adjust time/temp any?

Any tips would be great. I love gingerbread cookie crust...mmm!

I have been scared to try it and burn the crust.

Much easier than a rolled out pastry too...yes!

So have you made a berry pie this way? I have a bunch of frozen black caps I am going to bake a pie with for New Years. I was planning to use a pastry but what about a vanilla wafer crust...hm?

For Christmas, I made a no-bake pumpkin cheesecake pie with part vanilla wafer and part gingerbread cookie crumbs for the crust. And a blueberry cream cheese pie with vanilla wafer crumb crust. So good and easy!

THANKS GALS!!!

Yes, you've got it! I didn't pack the crust so high that it went over the lip of the glass pan. When I poured the pumpkin mixture in, I filled it so that it just covered the top of the edges of the crust, because I was a little concerned the edges might burn if they were exposed. Turned out great. I haven't tried a berry pie, but I would like to. Vanilla wafers, mmmm!
