This was a delicious, very rich pie. I made it for a vegetarian Thanksgiving party and it was devoured and enjoyed! I substituted brown rice syrup for the corn syrup. I used 2 cups of walnuts instead of 1 cup and I would cut the brown sugar in half next time, as it was a bit too sweet. Otherwise, a fabulous wholesome dessert.
