This pie came out very good but just a tad too sweet. (2)

Beautiful pie and delicious, but no caramel taste. For the crust, I used half shortening and half butter. The recipe is well written and easy to follow, but we were looking forward to that caramel dimension coming through, and it doesn't. The pie is still quite a treat and I'm glad I tried the recipe!
