Can I use canned pumpkin puree instead of fresh pumpkin?

Yes, you can substitute 3 cups of canned pumpkin puree for the fresh roasted pumpkin. Just make sure to use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.

What can I use instead of applesauce in this vegan recipe?

You can substitute the applesauce with mashed banana, silken tofu, or commercial egg replacer equivalent to 6 eggs. Each will give a slightly different texture and flavor.

How do I know when the pies are done baking?

The pies are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the edges are set. The center may still jiggle slightly but will firm up as it cools.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Absolutely! These pies can be made 1-2 days ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator. The flavors actually improve with time.
