This is hands down my favorite pie. It used to be just pecan pie until I tried this one. I have had the original from Pappadeaux, and this is just like it. Superb!

I liked this a lot but I had to cook a lot longer than it said. Now, it may be my oven. Also, I would use a much deeper pie dish since the 9" seemed too full! Really good though.

Oh my goodness! This pie is so sinfully good that it ought to be against the law! The bourbon sauce is yummy. We had it on Thanksgiving this year and there wasn't so much as a crumb left.

Hooey!!!!What a pie!! Served this at Bunko last night the the women went crazy over this pie! Dahling had some after all the girls were gone and he rated it an "Ummmm!". I thought that it would be time consuming to put together, but it went smoothly. I had a Cajun theme and this was one of the desserts (the other was a wonderful bread pudding)-they were both hits! I did not have time to make the bourbon sauce, however I substituted a vanilla flavored whipped cream (the "real" stuff!) Definitely not low cal, but..... Thanks a bunch!
