Notes
Bake time is 15 minutes at 425°F plus 40 to 50 minutes at 350°F; the cookTime summary uses the upper end of the range. The source suggests serving with whipped cream and optional caramel pecan topping, but does not provide a separate topping recipe. Canned pumpkin may be swapped with fresh pumpkin puree as written in the source. The pie continues to set as it cools, but no cooling duration is specified.
