I had some trouble getting the crust to brown properly. I think I might have needed to bake it for a little longer.

This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good recipe. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe (I used a gluten-free crust and I omitted the nuts), and it still turned out great!
