For the last two months or so, every time I make a pie, I've noted that the oven seems to be too hot--the temperature is off, because the crusts are coming out more brown on tried and true recipes that I've made in this oven since I got it. It was never like that before, and it's only about 5 years old...
so how do you fix that? Can you fix that?

Major Mike says maybe a bad temperature sensor in the top of the oven(that turns the oven on and off) or the gas valve itself(the knob you turn on and off).

Ha!!! I know, right? I'm totally sweating it!!!
Alright...thanks to Major Mike!!!!! The former sounds like a possibility, because I don't really have a knob to turn it on, it's one of those "push button" temp gauge.
Do I just call a stove guy?

I would put a couple of thermometers in different parts of your oven & see what they register. I thought my oven wasn't heating correctly, but it turned out it was right on. Guess the recipes give a estimated time when they are done. Just put your pies in for the minimum amount of baking time required & see if they are still burning up. Good luck with it!

After a time every oven will either gain or lose heat. Some have 5 to 10 temperature range that can be adjusted. Look on you information for the oven and it will tell you how to reprogram the temp.
