I am rating this on smell alone because its still hot. It was so easy to put together, 10 minutes max and it was oven ready. I made tarts instead of a pie so I had to adjust the time but they came out looking good and with the remainder of pumpkin pie filling I put it in a baking dish and baked it. The kids will eat it for dessert today with some ice cream. Thanks for an easy, smelling good recipe.
