This pie was phenomenal! A huge hit at the Thanksgiving Dinner we attended.. The consistency of mine was a little too loose - it fell apart a little too easily, but I am sure it was something I did wrong being new to cooking.. The taste however was amazing and there was NONE left.. I did a graham cracker crust instead too.. !
