alt: Pumpkin Pie Steps

1. Create the Crust: Mix the crust ingredients and press them into a pie plate coated with coconut oil spray. Bake at 350F for 15 minutes.

2. Whisk the Filling: In a separate large bowl, combine the healthy pumpkin pie filling ingredients.

3. Bake to Perfection: Spoon the pumpkin pie filling into the pre-baked crust. Continue baking for an additional 45-60 minutes until the top sets and no longer jiggles.

Expert Tips for the Perfect Pie

1. Storage Solutions: Keep your pie covered in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. For longer shelf life, tightly wrap the pie in freezer-safe wrap and freeze for up to 1 month.

2. Make Ahead: Prepare the pie a few days ahead and enjoy it chilled straight from the refrigerator for maximum convenience.

3. Optimal Baking: Place the pie on the middle or lower rack to prevent burning and ensure even baking.

4. Prevent Over-Browning: If the crust starts to burn during the last part of baking, cover the edges with foil.

5. Let It Cool: Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing, as it will set up perfectly in 3-4 hours.

6. Get Creative: Top your healthy pumpkin pie with whipped cream or ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence.

7. Pie Bars Option: Bake the pie in a square Pyrex baking dish and refrigerate it until fully cool before cutting into squares for delightful pumpkin pie bars.
