I'm baking pumpkin pies and the crust edges keep burning. I've read that I should put aluminum foil on the edges, but I'm not exactly sure how. Is it for a certain amount of time, like the whole cooking time, last 30 minutes, last 15 minutes or what. The pie bakes at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for 40-50 more minutes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And it is store-bought crusts.

get some aluminum foil and tear into strips and put on the edges of the pie crust and this will help keep it from burning . good luck and happy cooking .for about 30 minutes the last part of baking .

I make strips of tinfoil and wrap it in pieces around the edge of the crust. Work in pieces that are about 2-3 inches wide and as long as you can find them. The point is to protect the edges of the pie crust from the reflective radiant heat that your oven produces.
You can buy pie-crust protectors from kitchen stores, but it's a pain to store them and they come in different sizes.
