We really enjoyed this pie, it was just delicious! It reminded me of a pumpkin pie in texture and spice as well, and I think it would be a great addition to a Thanksgiving dessert table. Not having alot of added sugar was very nice too, thanks for sharing this :) Made this for ZWT4 for the ChicChefs.

I followed this recipe to a "T" and actually used CraftScouts advice and didn't pull it out early. I too was unsure of how the texture of the pie was supposed to be. (Thanks Craft) This turned out to be pretty good! My toddler didn't care for it but my parents really liked it! My husband and I were a bit undecided in the end. Served with Vanilla ice cream as recipe suggests and was overall a good recipe. Thanks for posting!

This was really simple to make and tasted great too. It's like a banana custard pie. I used a graham cracker crust and it was perfect for the pie. I ended up cooking mine for 45 mins. Reviewed for ZWT4
