How Long To Bake Pumpkin Pie In Oven At 350 Degrees?

The cook time required to bake pumpkin pie in oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit is 1 hour and 10 minutes. With this combination of cook time and temp, you can expect a smooth and rich filling that is encompassed by a delicious, golden crust on the outside. Pumpkin pie is definitely not the easiest recipe to create, but the wait is worth it for this dessert. Cooking at this temperature for 1 hour and 10 minutes gives you the best chance to make a successful and appetizing pumpkin pie. Just make sure you start the process by setting the oven to 400 for the first 15 minutes of baking, then reduce to 350 for the remainder of the time.

What are other temperatures to cook pumpkin in the oven?

Pumpkin pie has a specific way that it needs to be baked, so changing the oven temperature too much is not recommended. However, you can still increase or decrease the temperature a little bit for different results.

If you want the crust to be more crispy, you can set the temperature to be higher. But you will have to worry about getting a pumpkin pie with cracks in it. A higher temperature of about 375 degrees can cause the pie filling to develop cracks resulting from drying out, which affects both the look and taste of your pie.

If you want to bake at a lower temperature of around 325 degrees, you can expect to wait a decent amount of time longer before you can enjoy your pumpkin pie. But the pie will turn out to be more moist. If you have some time on your hands, go ahead and use this temperature, but I personally prefer having yummy food as quickly as possible without risking quality.

This temperature retains moisture and creates a smooth taste in every bite. You don’t want to rush the process by cooking it too quickly, and you don’t want to cook at too low of a temperature that will keep you waiting for what feels like forever.
