1

Pumpkin Filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of pumpkin puree, 1 cup of packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix everything together until well-combined and smooth.

2

Pie Crust

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out a ready-made pie crust onto a floured surface. Carefully place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently against the sides. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edge.

3

Creating Pumpkin Art

Once your pie crust is ready, it's time to let your artistic side shine! Using a sharp knife or a small cookie cutter, cut out pumpkin shapes from the remaining pie crust. Arrange the pumpkin cut-outs on top of your pie filling, overlapping them slightly to create a beautiful pattern.

4

Baking Time

Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. Keep an eye on it to avoid over-browning!

5

Cooling and Serving

Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This will give the pie time to set properly. Serve your show-stopping Pumpkin Pie Art as is or with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of deliciousness. Don't forget to snap a picture before it disappears!
