Best Answer

The general rule for foods is that they shouldn't spend more than two hours in the 'danger zone' which is between 5 and 60 degrees Celsius. So once your pie fillings have cooled below 60 degrees they shouldn't be out for more than two hours, according to the strictest rules of food safety.

That said, a pie filling is typically rather similar to a jam which is a way to preserve fruits and berries. They typically contain to much sugar to spoil, so the main risk is mold if left out of the fridge for weeks. Whether your pie filling would have that property depends on the recipe you use.

What temperature should pie filling be?

The Filling For pumpkin pie, bake until the internal temperature hits 175 degrees (use an instant-read thermometer). Be sure that the center of the pumpkin pie jiggles slightly; it will set up as it cools. For pecan pie, bake the filling to an internal temperature of 185 degrees.

Can you over cook pie filling?

If your pumpkin filling cracks or separates, it's probably overcooked. And that's not your fault: It can be hard to nail the perfect level of doneness for pumpkin pie, since most recipes have you pour the custard into an unbaked pie shell, and by the time the crust is perfectly golden brown, the filling is overcooked.

What temperature should you bake a pie?

Bake. Preheat your oven to 425\xb0F. Place the pie on a parchment-lined baking sheet (to catch any drips), and put the pie and baking sheet onto the lowest rack of your oven.

Should you Prebake pie filling?

Pre-cooking your filling basically allows you to control the juiciness before it goes into the oven, so there are no major surprises when it's time to bake. This does mean a longer prep time, both to prepare the filling and to let it cool completely. (Putting hot filling into a chilled pie crust = no go!
