This is an excellent pie. Just a few tips... Use a deep dish 9.5 in pie plate. I had to bake mine significantly longer than the recipe stated, and cover it part way through so it didn't get too brown. I probably baked it a total of close to 90 minutes although I didn't keep track exactly. But the pie is fantastic and other than what I stated above I didn't change the recipe at all, other than using whole pecans as someone else suggested.
