I found this recipe very fast and easy to make.It was a big hit at Thanksgiving and I would consider making it again.My only problem was that it took me a little longer to cook than the recipe said,but this could be due to having a different oven.It was easy to fix,i just kept it in a little longer.For a little extra flavor,I also added a little pinch of ground clove.

No complaints today! My mom and I are in charge of pies every family holiday, but didn't notice that we didn't have any evaporated milk in the pantry until Christmas day so there weren't stores open to get any. I searched here for a recipe that didn't call for it and found this one! It tasted excellent! I, too, had to bake it longer than called for... 70 minutes at 325. I also added about another 1/2 tsp nutmeg because I felt the cinnamon was too strong. It had the same texture and close to the same taste as our regular pie recipe and everyone gobbled it up as usual! Thanks, Caryn!
