This recipe needed some spices. I made this pie for my family for Thanksgiving. Everyone loved it, however, I can guarantee that would not have been the case had I not added the following: 1 t vanilla extract; 1/2 t ground cinnamon; 1/2 t ground nutmeg; and 1/4 t salt. My family just would not have enjoyed it without the spices. Also, the timing is off...it took at least 45 minutes. I think I'll up the temp a bit next time. It's a good start. Thanks for posting.

i hate too spoil the reviews but this pie is firm and on the dry side and tacky in the mouth like peanutbutter can be. it does need some spices for sure. also took longer than 20-30 minutes to set, more like 45. i was disappointed as the pie had a lovely color and was fluffy and tall out of the oven. husband ate 1 piece to be polite and my 12 year old said he wished i had made pumpkin pie instead. will try a pie with evaporated milk next time....

I got lots of rave reviews on this one. Even a request to make 2 more for a friend! I made pies using both regular crust and graham cracker crust. My guests really liked the graham better so I will be putting this into our Thanksgiving menu each year. Thanks!
