Notes
Storage: Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze the pie by wrapping it tightly in a freezer-safe wrap and storing it in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Make Ahead: I tend to eat this right from the refrigerator making this healthy pumpkin pie the perfect recipe to make a few days ahead.
Bake pie on the middle or lower rack to prevent burning and promote more even baking.
If the crust begins to burn put foil around the edges during the last part of baking to prevent it from burning.
Allow the pie to cool completely to room temperature before storing in the refrigerator. Pie will be set up in 3-4 hours.
Top with whipped cream or ice cream if you like.
Make into bars by baking in a square Pyrex baking dish and allowing the pie to completely cool in the refrigerator before cutting into squares.
