Squash - Homemade Pumpkin Puree in the Microwave
There's no need to buy store-bought when you can quickly and easily make your own pumpkin puree in the microwave to cut down on cooking time!
I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH, you can combine one 8oz can of pumpkin puree with one box cake mix (any kind but spice cake is best) and about 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, drop by tablespoon-ish onto a greased/parchment/silpat cookie sheet, and bake at 350F for 13-16 minutes
if there are no spices in either your cake mix or pumpkin puree i suggest adding warm spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves

I know we are already way past Halloween but I really wanted to finally finish this ones, made them originally over 2 years ago, but they are finally done
Since I made the originals so long ago, DIPPLIN wasn't a thing yet, so I took this chance to make a regional version of them too, if they end up getting an evolution in the next DLC I will make a version of that too
APPLIN and FLAPPLE are based mainly on Jack-o-Lanterns
APPLETUN is based on Pumpkin Pie
DIPPLIN is based on Caramelized Pumpkin
The whole line, but specially Gigantamax FLAPPLE/APPLETUN are based on the Sandworms from the Beetlejuice movie
Cookie Run Kingdom fusions, based on some reddit suggestions! This was a super fun design challenge and I'm quite happy with the end results :) Feel free to comment your own suggestions, I may try this again!!
My pumpkin pie tricks I’ve learned through over 13 years of making pumpkin pie:
One egg and a splash of vinegar make for amazing crusts don’t ask me to explain it but I stumbled upon a crust recipe calling for them and it’s the best.
Chill your dough before rolling it out and then chill (or slightly freeze) your dough before baking. This makes it easier to roll and helps it maintain it's shape when baked
Use parchment paper to roll out your dough and grab the ends of the paper to place said rolled out dough in the pie tin. That rolling it around the rolling pin thing looks super cool but may result in holiday homicide
Blind bake your crust! I do 15 minutes at 425f with special pie weights but rice or dry beans work too. Use aluminum foil to line the pie don’t put the weights in there by themselves!
The pie recipe on the back of the pumpkin purée is actually fantastic but 1.5x the amount of spice and add nutmeg. It doesn’t call for it for some reason
Replace half of the white sugar with brown sugar (or all!) for a “warmer” taste.
Slowly warm up the filling of your pie on the stove, stirring frequently because it will burn very quickly. Instead of having cold filling going in, the filling will be warm and reduce cooking time thus saving you from burnt crust. Supposedly it helps with the taste too.
Very optional but some fresh ginger is lovely in pie
