This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think it would be perfect with a cup of coffee.

This pie is the perfect balance of sweet and tart. The crust is buttery and flaky, and the filling is creamy and smooth.

I'm allergic to coconut, so I made this pie with almond milk and vegan butter. It turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The crust was too crumbly and the filling was too runny.

This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think it would be perfect with a dollop of whipped cream.
