I baked a pumpkin pie and i think i might have put too much in the crust cuz it is rising?

Question

will it settle after I take it out of the oven?

Sorry I wasnt clear.....I meant too much filling. Thanks!!

Answer 1

the filling will puff up whlie the pie is baking.
When you take the pie out of the oven, cooked, it will deflate back down.

When I bake pumpkin pies, I tend to fill close to the top. I see the puffing, but have no problems with spillage.

Answer 2

If you are talking about a rising "blind baked" crust, that could be because you didn't weight down the crust while baking. That is not really a rise, it's more of an effect of the steam under the crust lifting it up. When it comes out of the oven just use a clean oven mitt and gently flatten it out.

In the future, put a piece of parchment over your crust and weight down with pie weights or just pour in a bag of dry beans (over the parchment) while baking.

Answer 3

usually i bake pumpkin in a unbaked crust ,unless it's like a cream pie or something like that ,, I would need to know the recipe you used ,, did you poke holes in the crust before baking??the other answer said to gently flatten it ,try that!! good luck

Answer 4

it will settle after sometime after you take it out of the oven
