- Bake the pie for 20 minutes at 425 F, then rotate and decrease the temperature to 350 F, and continue baking for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center has set.
- Remove the pumpkin pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely. Garnish with roasted Apple Pie pumpkin seeds, and serve with fresh whipped cream.
