hi people,
My husband and son were making pumpin pie the other day and they had some pie filling left over so instead if wasting it I lined the small oval baker with ritz crackers and we poured the pie filling over that and baked it.It was AWESOME. We are going to try and make a larger one next week. It was like pumkin bread pudding. You should try it. :D

Frequently Asked Questions

What ingredients do I need for the Delicious Pumpkin Pie Twist with Ritz Cracker Crust?

To make the Delicious Pumpkin Pie Twist with a Ritz Cracker Crust, you will need Ritz crackers, butter, sugar, pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Make sure to have these ingredients ready before you start preparing the recipe!

How do I prepare the Ritz Cracker Crust for the pumpkin pie?

To prepare the Ritz Cracker Crust, crush the Ritz crackers into fine crumbs and mix them with melted butter and sugar until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a pie dish to form an even layer. Bake the crust in a preheated oven for about 10 minutes to set it before adding the pumpkin filling.

Can I use a different type of cracker for the crust?

Yes, you can use other types of crackers if you prefer. However, Ritz crackers provide a unique buttery flavor that complements the pumpkin filling. Alternatives like graham crackers or saltines can work, but they may alter the taste and texture of the pie slightly.

How long should I bake the pumpkin pie twist?

Bake the pumpkin pie twist in the oven at 350°F for about 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on the pie to prevent over-baking, which can lead to a dry texture.

Can I make the pumpkin pie twist ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the pumpkin pie twist a day in advance. Once baked, allow it to cool completely, then cover it and refrigerate. This allows the flavors to meld together, and it can be served chilled or at room temperature.
