So I have to make 75 pumpkin pies for Wednesday, and I made 15 today, and I'm sort of having an issue with the filling bubbling while it bakes. Like it's not that huge of a deal but once we take them out of the oven there are these popped air bubbles that have sort of made craters in the pies. And it only happens on some of them. Is there any way to prevent this? Is it from mixing them too much or baking them too long or something? cheesecake factory restaurant recipe - Scrumptious Libby's Pumpkin ::

Sounds like you may have created the air pockets by trapping air in the pumpkin pie filling when mixing. You can run a fork through the filling to help release any air pockets after pouring the filling in the pie crust. Do you par bake the crust before cooking the complete pie? That will help. Also, check your cooking temperature. Rotating the pies halfway through cooking should help as well. You know when you've baked your pie too long if the filling looks curdled on the inside after cooling. Ask the Pie Expert only at The Pie of the Month Club!::

That's a lot of pie.
Are the ones with bubbles all on the top rack/closest to the heating element? If so, you can probably eliminate the cratering by swapping racks halfway through baking. That will likely add 10-15 minutes to the baking time, but you should be crater-free.
This is probably the result of over mixing the pie filling ingredients. For best results, use a wire whisk to mix the ingredients. If using an electric mixer, use a low speed to avoid over-mixing which can cause air bubbles in the baked pie.
Another possibility is the pie was over baked. With custard-type pies, such as pumpkin. The initial higher temperature of 425° F helps set or bake the crust. Then, reducing the temperature helps ensure that you will gently and completely bake your filling without over-baking your pie!
After you pour the pumpkin custard into the pie shell, pick up the whole pie and lightly drop it a few times on the table from NO more than 1/2 inch high. That will cause the bubbles to rise to the top. You will probably see them on the surface. Then go ahead with the pie baking. If you are using aluminum foil pie pans, you may not be able to do this without spilling as you pick up /drop pan but it works for solid metal or glass pans if they are not overfilled.
