Crust:

2. Put the plate on top of a baking sheet, which will be placed in the lowest rack in the oven.
3. Bake for 10 minutes.
4. Then turn down the temperature to 350 and keep the pie in there for another 50 minutes.

Topping:

1. Take a mixer and beat the cream until it becomes creamy and thick. Insert the amaretto and powdered sugar in the mixer and mix lightly again until well combined.
2. Before applying the topping, make sure your pie has cooled completely after taking it out of the oven.

~*~ Helpful Tip ~*~

Add some chocolate shavings on top and whipped cream for a fancier look.

Here is a tip to make your pumpkin pie’s crust extra crispier: when you put the prepared pie into the oven to bake, make sure to place the plate in the lowest rack so that the dough will interact with the heat more.
