Well I tried this with my pumpkin pies today and sadly I ended up with 2 pies that were runny in the middle. I have and oven thermometer and adjust my oven temperature based on that and my apple pie cooked perfectly. I trusted this article and checked my pies at the shorter baking time. At this time they had the firm edges and giggly center about 3-4 inches. I took them out and worried but walked away as the article suggested and ended up with two runny pies. So disappointing. I won’t do this again.
