why does my pumpkin pie get a crispy top to it.

Question

Miss_Karen · Answer

Its imperative  that the oven temp changes. The first part of baking at one temperature then the last part at a lower temp. It should be a bit jiggly in the center. Stuff continues to cook slightly as it cools...

Maybe try baking it on a lower rack; if your gas oven heats from the top, it might be creating a heat differential that's making the top bake too fast.

It's my mother-en receipt. It use to be perfect.  I just started making it again after years. Now I've started using again and the top has been crispy each time. I use to have an electric oven. Now I have a gas oven. could that be it? thought of trying parchment paper on top?

Hi Bzell, may I ask what recipe are you using? If the pie is getting a crispy top, it sounds like the oven temperature might be too high? This recipe has some great temperature recommendations in step 5 for nailing the crust and consistency just right.  https://food52.com/recipes...
