I made this recipe on 3/28/10 as a " Special Splurge " for myself and my SO. And I do agree with you about a homemade crust, so half of Recipe#45268 was used. Except for the crust this recipe was made as written. And as Kitsune mentioned, " a little too juicy ", so if this is made again some more flour will be added to the filling. But other than that this was a very good crumb pie, not too sweet and very nice texture. Thank you for posting and, " Keep Smiling :) "
