Questions, Comments & Reviews


i made this for the first time this christmas and think it came out good. it was very sweet but i think it's supposed to be that way. I've only made a pie once before, but i thought the recipe was easy to follow. the only part i had trouble with was covering the edges with foil, and getting it back into the oven w/out the foil popping off . i ended up putting the pie-plate on top of a cookie sheet, then putting the foil on and then i didn't have to grab the edges of the pie plate to put it back in the oven. (i'm sure there are better suggestions on the forums here for this issue, but that was the trick i managed to figure out to get it to work so i thought i'd share it)
