The flavor and texture were 5 star all the way. Just wonderful. Will have to work on the topping a bit. I followed the instructions to a T and the result was all the butter overflowed. Thank goodness I had the pie plate on a drip pan. I may decrease the butter and my increase the size of the pie plate to 10 inch and see if that works better for me. Thanks ellie for a wonderful pie.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
