Absolutely delicious pie! Loved the combo of ingredients in the crust & the pie itself was wonderful! Shared it with a neighbor couple, & it got nothing but raves! I'll definitely be making this one again several times, I'm sure, before the end of the year! Thanks for sharing it! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

This recipe was quite good! I was excited about how the crust mixed up into a dough though it was a little too so I plan on tweaking it next time; I was thinking about using part graham cracker crumbs. Also, I thought I had vanilla yogurt but it was plain so my filling was a bit more tangy than I would have liked but that is no fault of the recipe's. I just added some extra vanilla this time gut I'll be sure to have the right yogurt next time. Great mix of spices and great pumpkin flavor! Also, I may play with using agave or honey next time. Thanks for posting this recipe!

I've made many of pumpkin pies and this one was not a hit with my family. Something about the flavor was just amiss. I don't know if it was because I used an off brand of yogurt and pumpkin or what. I may make this again with name brand ingredients to see if that was the problem. Crust was good. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
