They were really good but turned out extremely ugly.

It was really good, my dad who hates pumpkin pie loved it!!!Changes I made:Instead of using canned pumpkin i used fresh pie pumpkins and after getting all strings and seeds out i baked them on a cookie sheet face down for an hour at 375F, one pie pumpkin is plenty, then i just pureed it.I did 2 or 3 teaspoons of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of ginger, 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, a sprinkle of Chinese 5 spice, 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of bourbon, I do recommend doing more seasonings, brown sugar and bourbon as I feel it wouldn't have taste without.I used a premade pie crust and knowing they dry out quick, I made a milk wash. I first made buttermilk with 1/4 cup milk and a splash of lemon juice, after whipping it i put some brown sugar in and 2 tablespoons of bourbon. i would recommend doing this with any crust since it gave it a bit of flavor.while baking every 10 minutes i used the milk wash with some melted butter in it so that the crust didn't dry out or burn, because premade crusts bake quite quick.
