Fancy Pumpkin Pie Crust

Okay, so here is the pumpkin pie that my husband and I made, against my better judgement, to take to Thanksgiving.  I wanted it to look really nice.  These leaves are handcut, but I think a cookie cutter would be the way to go.  I was unable to find one on short notice, so I had to improvise. (This is the old fashioned pumpkin pie recipe with some embellishments.)



1 extra pie crust, rolled to 1/8 inch thickness; cut out with 1 to 1-1/2 inch leaf-shaped cookie cutters.  With a sharp knife, score leaf veins on cutouts.  Place on an ungreased baking sheet.  Bake at 400 degrees for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown.  Remove to wire rack to cool.  Arrange around edge of pie.
