"Very good pie.The first pie I made I baked at 425° as directed, but left off the topping. The crust got too brown. The second pie I baked at 375° for 35 minutes and then I reduced the oven temperature..." See more to 325° and baked another 25 minutes(I omitted the nut topping).I covered the edges loosely with foil the entire cooking time and it was perfect. This is a very sweet pie. You could reduce the sugar somewhat."

"I have to say, this is a very good pie. Very sweet and very fluffy. I did not add the topping though, because I used the pecans already in the crust and I thought that might be to much pecans.
