"Just don't go to Starbucks, and make pumpkin pie!" Best line from the whole video- and I can't wait to make some of my own pumpkin pie in a couple weeks!
When pressing a crust into a pan, using a small custard ramekin or a metal measuring cup to press the crumbs makes the job easier. This also works for graham cracker crusts. This recipe looks very tasty and helpful if you're feeding a crowd at the holidays. I found your channel somewhat recently, and I'm enjoying your videos so much. Thank you!
@Glenn and Friends Cooking • Glenn: There are so many things to love about this video. The first is just moving away from the pie shape to the sheet pan. Bars are good not just for company but since pumpkin pie can be frozen, you can have the treat for a longer period of time. The sheet pan also reminded me you can make tarts instead of a full pie. I also love the fact that you pointed out that your crust ingredients are the same as a rolled crust except for the addition of the ice water. That gives one the choice of which way to go. I want to point out that it's not just rolling the crust that puts people off, it's learning how to work the ingredients into a dough without making a "tough" crust. Of course, when we were learning, my family didn't have a food processor so we were probably overworking the dough at that stage. I also love the fact that you point out the filling doesn't need to be limited to pumpkin. As someone who loves baked acorn squash, I anticipate a teste treat coming. Although, I'm not averse to butternut either. I don't know what adjustments would need to be made to use the brick of frozen squash you can buy, but that expands the use of this recipe to year round. Excellent "basic" recipe! ~ From another mace lover. 👋
As someone with a big family, this is a great form for pie distribution. As long as the pie filling is thick enough I think it would work. Then no one complains that the pie is gone, because I rolled in with a half-sheet pan.
Fantastic idea absolutely going to try this holiday. Especially for trying more pies. Hey, wait......this might be dangerous, as eating more pie 🥧 over longer period of time as these are simply Fun Sized. Great vid. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍👍
pumpkin pie is my absolute fave!!! i don't want just "pumpkin spice" stuff...spice things anyway you want but...give me stuff with actual pumpkin in it! i put pumpkin pie filling in a baking dish and eat is as custard. 🥰
I made a Sheet Pan Pumpkin Pie for my niece's Thanksgiving Dinner a few years back. It was an immediate success, nothing left. I rolled out the dough however in the future I will pat it into place,I like that idea. Also, to the spices of allspice, ginger,and nutmeg I added five spice powder, this made a more savory pie than sweet. Yum. Love your cooking shows Glen, and learning new ideas.
I made the pumpkin spiced cake from this channel - its was delicious but I want to add that the spice mix Glen suggests is spot on. The mace does make a contribution and it was delicious.
Love this as someone that can't eat store bought crust because it only taste like chemical/plastic, this is great. I would add come pecans in the crust...yummy
We in Australia have only come to know pumpkin pie in the last decade or so since we did an American themed Christmas in 2012/13, and the pie is the one surviving item (besides corn bread). We made too much pastry and filling for our pie dish, and used the leftovers in muffin trays. It makes the perfect ratio of pastry to pie filling and you can just grab a snack pie from the fridge to nibble on at any time. Now we just make mini pies each year. I love the happy dance you do Glen when something just hits the spot!
Looks great. Being baked in a sheet pan reminds me of something we always had at family functions called. “Pie by the yard”. Which is pie baked in a full sheet pan. The good thing about that is you could have two different kinds of pie in the same pan.
Love it! I am going to give this a try, for sure. As a kid, I didn’t like pumpkin pie. My dear mother would always make a special apple pie for me when she made pumpkin for the rest of the family. A few years ago, it was up to me to make dessert for Thanksgiving. I only made pumpkin because that was all I had time for. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed it! After 50 years, I finally decided to give it another chance and now I only require 1 pie at Thanksgiving. But if I have time, maybe I’ll make 2… pumpkins, that is!
Currently yours is the only TH-cam channel I return to. Thanks for sharing your passions and interests without going over the top with drama and gimmicky click bait!
The press in crust is certainly a good soundings alternative to store bought especially if you didn't have a pie pan. Store bought ready pie crust seems so salty too.
Great recipes - and a vocabulary lesson on the side - I can't wait to use trepidatious in my conversations. (I love this couple - I wish they lived nearby).
We used to have a buffet restaurant in the area (now sadly gone) that had small pumpkin pie squares with a tiny bit of whipped cream on top on their desert table. Sunday brunch, middle of the week for dinner, it didn't matter; time of year did not matter, they always had pumpkin pie. Thanks for the idea Glen, I might surprise the rest of the family by making pumpkin slab pie this year.
I never was very good at pie crust, but then found a recipe that I found comes out perfectly every time: 4-1/2c flour, 1 pound of butter, 8 oz of cream cheese, - tsp salt. No water, so it can’t get tough. It’s a big recipe (makes 3 double crust pies) but it freezes well, so you can make ahead and use when needed.
Wow! I never heard of anything like this before. Very intriguing. I have a goal to learn to make pie crust myself that is better than what I can buy and I think I'll try this one!! Thanks for sharing!
Now that’s a pie crust I think I could make. So many friends have said that they have the perfect pie crust recipe, none have ever worked for me. Actually, there is a recipe that I saw on British tv; hot water pe crust! It works well!
This inspired this to make an early thanksgiving dinner with this as dessert. Pumpkin sheet pie turned out great. Shortbread like crust was a nice change from normal pie crust.
I'm one of the few that doesn't like whipped cream, it just dilutes the pie flavour. I love the idea of pumpkin bars/squares, you can just cut off a bite sized piece every time you walk by!! 🎃 🥧😃
We make single serving mini pumpkin pies (tart-lets) using a muffin pan. I'm the pie dough maker in the family and I just cut circles of dough and press them into each of the muffin holes. I use the popular brand pumpkin pie filling-in-a-can (it's the only one that tastes correct to me). Nice thing about this method is you get more pie crust per serving this way.
SUMO! I haven't watched that in years, but you jogged my memory and I found it streaming. My Father had a TV show in Hawaii, commentating Sumo in English.
i love your easy recipes too. I think i'm adept at cooking but since i'm studying abroad i don't usually have the equipment or even ingredients to do anything too complex. Always glad to see you two still going strong with your channel, keep it up! One thing i would love is weighted measurements though. They are the easiest to replicate from since volume of different foods depends on your humidity and types of goods sold at your country/region
Just have tell you that I made this for Sunday lunch dessert for my special friend. It was wonderful! So delicious! I love the crust, that it is sweet and oh so easy to make. He loved it it! And a la Julie, I had some for breakfast this morning. Yum! Cheers! Charlotte in Kennesaw, GA
After roughly pressing by hand you can use one pan to press the other pan by setting it on top, pressing, then switch positions and repeat. Should help with finalizing. I'm also a fan of spicing the crust. Great video! I never thought to do it this way before. Minimal cleanup! Love it
I love pumpkin pie, it's one of the best things about this time of year. And if I made one of these for a family get together I doubt we'd use it as a way to have smaller portions - one year my father used the excuse that home made pumpkin pie and store bought pumpkin pie were different types of pie as an excuse to take a slice of each. (And then several of us followed his example.)
Thank you for converting a roll out crust to a press in. I make giant apple crisps in a 9x13 dish. This method is genius for that. PS I will now make giant pumpkin pies too!! My family will love it.
The sheet pan idea is cool but I'd just buy a crust. We even have rolled crusts at stores that fit any pan. I know it's blasphemy, but pie crusts are a pain to make, cheap to buy and the purchased ones taste fine. This is great for large get togethers. I'll try at Thanksgiving!
This was more of a crumble than a crust. Reminded me of a graham cracker crust, used for cheese cake. And yes, I too am guilty of using the store bought crusts from time to time! 🤫
oooh, those do look wonderful, and your happy dance indicates that are as wonderful as they look! i've never used heavy cream, and i'd need to make a gluten free base, but i think this'll be an october treat
My mother would separate the eggs, whip the egg whites and fold them into the custard mix. Voila! Pumpkin chiffon pie. Just a little bit lighter texture but reduces or even eliminates the need for cream…or whipped cream. She did it with lemon pie, coconut cream pie…you name it. I really enjoy your videos. I also might have old cookbooks for you but I don’t know how to proceed with that.
Like the pressed crust. When my son was gluten intolerant we found the easier way to deal with it when it came to pumpkin pie, we added some extra eggs and used a glass or glazed ceramic dish - well buttered and just did crustless pumpkin pie.
Breakfast pie!! So real! Pumpkin Pie has always been my favorite pie - any meal! The crust seemed hard to cut in the pan. Was it? I don’t want to score my pans.
If you don't mind a suggestion: if you don't like to do rolled pie crusts (or just don't like pie crust) pumpkin pie made with a ginger snap crumb crust is fantastic. (Crush ginger snaps into dust, add enough butter to make it moldable; add cinnamon and nutmeg or other spices if desired. Just like a cheesecake graham cracker crust.)
Pumpkin pie is my favorite! I generally make it in the big muffin tins for individual servings, then freeze and bag. I prefer the crumb crust but will occasionally make pie crust instead. I haven't tried it in sheet pan but that seems like the easiest method yet!

Along with the infamous
"You have gone too far"

She was right and with a great attitude.
Pumpkin pie does make the perfect breakfast food... And it's portable! ☺️
My dad always says “I like pie two ways… by myself and with others”. 😊 This will be my go to from now on.

@@samiam619 That's great! Good luck!
I agree.
Thank you, Julie! I have recently been mocked at work for "admitting" I ate pumpkin pie for breakfast! With whipped cream, of course!
For years, I made a double recipe of pumpkin pie and made it in a 9x13” cake pan. I’m glad to see others think outside the box too!
Weren't you cooking in a box? You were cooking outside the pie.
I've been making pumpkin pie for a long time and never considered making bars instead. This is genius. Thanks Glen! I'm doing this for Pie day 2023.

Great idea! I do love the critique of the recipe at the end of your videos; it gives good insight into the recipe. It's also usually quite amusing!
I could do this in a muffin pan and not deal with trying to portion and cut. Thanks for the recipe Glen!
Wedges rule over bars and pumpkin rules them both😎👍👍
I like pie for breakfast too and pumpkin is my favorite too, Julie.

I will try this.
I do pecan pie bars....I think they are easier . Never thought of pumpkin pie bars, tho.
Recipe please!
My stepfather always did this when he made pumpkin pie. He's been gone 14 years. Brought back some great memories!
Thank you.
This reminds me of the pumpkin pie our school would make for thanksgiving down here in the states
I love the idea of a pressed on crust! Pie crust always makes me crazy. 😊
I made the pumpkin spiced cake from this channel - its was delicious but I want to add that the spice mix Glen suggests is spot on. The mace does make a contribution and it was delicious.

Great video clip. I almost passed by this entry but then I saw the sheet pan with pumpkin pie. Oh yeah.
Thank you for sharing the press in crust. I never heard of that process.
I always do it like this, I'm too lazy to clean the rolling pin.
Glen mentioned: it's pretty much the same technique as for a graham cracker crust...
Yes!! Pumpkin Pie smothered in whipped cream for breakfast!! I second the motion.
Looks great. Being baked in a sheet pan reminds me of something we always had at family functions called. “Pie by the yard”. Which is pie baked in a full sheet pan. The good thing about that is you could have two different kinds of pie in the same pan.

Pun, fully intended.

I do not like making pie crust so I make a James Beard pumpkin pie filling with a bit of calvados baking this as a custard in a Bain Marie. Lovely.
This inspired this to make an early thanksgiving dinner with this as dessert. Pumpkin sheet pie turned out great. Shortbread like crust was a nice change from normal pie crust.
THANK YOU for this. A pressed in short crust is the way to go, regular pie crust fights me every time.
LOL, Julie and breakfast pie sounds like a couple of friends of mine.
Just made some pumpkin pies yesterday because I’m making a turkey dinner today. Even though it will be in the 90’s. Air on arctic north. Lol.
Yum! Breakfast yes, I like it stirred into a bowl of oatmeal, whip cream of course.
Another pie for breakfast fan! I had pumpkin this morning.
Pumpkin pie anytime any way you make it. Sheet pan looks fun.
You should try cardamom in pumpkin pie, it's....amazing. In fact, I'm definitely going to try it when I make this recipe.
YES! Team Cardomom here! Cinnamon is overrated.
Ah, pumpkin pie. I love pumpkin pie!!
I love pumpkin pie...and pumpkin bread all topped with real whipped cream..!
I adore pumpkin pie, anytime and for any reason.
I'm one of the few that doesn't like whipped cream, it just dilutes the pie flavour. I love the idea of pumpkin bars/squares, you can just cut off a bite sized piece every time you walk by!! 🎃 🥧😃
Wonderful, Glen. I'd want the whipped cream on top. But you used a lot of cream in the pie already. Excellent video. As always! Thank you! - Marilyn
I made this today. It was a big hit at Thanksgiving dinner. Delicious.
Love this Glen!
Yum! I do love Pumpkin Pie. Especially, Pumpkin Chiffon Pie. (Pumpkin with egg whites folded in.)

I making this recipe currently. I found that if you have a square glass container or dish, it really helps packing in the crust

My favorite stirred, no-roll, press-in pastry is from Fannie Farmer where you stir in a mixture of oil and milk into the flour. Then, press away!
pumpkin pie is my favorite pie. its one of the few pies i will actually eat.

My go to is sweetened condensed milk for pumpkin pie. The shirt pan method looks awesome.
Now for some pumpkin cookies and pecan pie bars 😋.
The pie crust, especially the edges, is the best part.

He didn't mention it but I often use canned evaporated milk and save the heavy cream for the topping. A lot cheaper in these inflationary times too.
Looks good no matter the shape.

Hearing you talk about watching Sumo reminded me it was September, and I haven't watched any sumo all month!
I have done something similar with using store brought crescent roll dough for the crust.
GENIUS!
Love those spices! I’m’na make this next weekend and I may not share it with anyone.
