Pumpkin Pies Splitting

RE: Pumpkin Pies Splitting By Holly (Guest Post) Serve topped with cool whip and no one will ever know. My mother would salvage her pie and cake disasters by lining a pretty bowl with ladyfingers cookies, and then layering the filling with jam, chopped sugared nuts, more cookies... I seem to recall ladyfingers cookies soaked in rum, too, but can't tell you how they were used.

Baking too fast or too hot will create the crack. Usually you start off at a higher temperature for just 15 minutes or so to help the unbaked crust get a head start, and then lower the temperature for the remaining time.

So, I let it sit on the baking sheet until totally cooled before I handle it's pan, or I use a more solid pan, metal or glass.

It continues to cook for a bit after you take it out of the oven, so you want to take it out just before you're sure it's almost perfect. Remember...when all else fails - take a gorgeous festive bowl, then dump the whole pie upside down into the bowl so it's all broken up w/ crust all through it. Put big dollops of whip cream on top and voila . . . it came out JUST LIKE YOU PLANNED!! :) Posted on 11/27/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Pumpkin Pies Splitting By Exasperated (112) Profile Contact I believe I read that too high heat (even a little bit) and cooking too long will do this. Do you have a reliable oven thermometer? If you trust the thermostat built into your oven, you may be surprised at the actual reading. When you test for doneness, put the tester about 1 inch from the middle of the pie. It will cook a bit after taken out of oven if not put in draft or cool room. If all this doesn't work, check the Internet for troubleshooting such problems. Good luck! (I'll bet they were good, anyway--and don't you have to cut them? Creative slicing can disguise many errors!!) Posted on 11/27/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse
