And the worn matron smiles where the girl smiled before;
What moistens the lip and what brightens the eye,
What calls back the past, like the rich Pumpkin pie?

It is considered a "soft" pie because it is made with an unbaked crust and uncooked filling that is baked until the crust has browned and the filling is set.
After letting the pie cool to room temperature, it is usually served with a dollop of softly whipped cream.
Fifi's Pumpkin Pie Recipes (936 words)
All in all, this is pretty close to traditional pumpkin pie flavor, with a hint of maple.
We fill the pie partway out of the oven, then top it off with a cup or ladle with the pie positioned in the oven, as the slightest sticking of the oven rack is liable to cause filling to slosh all over.
The first recipe for Maple Pumpkin Pie is loosely based on the Martha Stewart Pies and Tarts recipe which Fifi's Kitchen prepared last year.
