If the entire pie is wobbly, continue baking.
Use a piecrust shield if it’s browning too fast.
To avoid overbaking, check your pie at least five minutes before the end of the suggested baking time.
Also, watch out for overbrowning the crust.
Cover the edges with foil or use a piecrust shield if you notice them getting dark quickly.
OurSouthern Pumpkin Pie Recipespecifies cooling the pie for three hours in order for it to be completely set.
