    This recipe went over surprisingly well over Thanksgiving '11. My in-laws keep requesting it. Really disliked this pie because of the crust, but everyone else loved it. Not sure what they liked about it to figure out what to keep out next time. Definitely think it'd be better with a home-made or store-bought crust.

    I really enjoyed this pumpkin pie! I used a regular crust after reading the reviews and I also added cinnamon and cloves and it had a lot of flavor and excellent texture. The praline was easy to make and came out great! If you have never made praline before, just remember to keep it moving and although it doesn't seem like it will turn into candy it does and it comes out great! I liked the crunchiness on top too!

    A lot of work for just an "ok" pie. Looks great, but tastes blah. Save time on the crust and just make a simple crumbled amaretto cookie crust (like graham cracker with a traditional pumpkin filling. The almond praline was a little tricky. We added more water to the sugar and it worked better.

    Haven't tasted it yet, but I will say it sure was time consuming to make. I think I will use a store bought crust next time!

    A lovely tasting pie with a nice twist on a classic. I agree with the other reviews that the crust is not the best and with the amaretto cookies hard to find and five dollars a bag in my area, I would definently skip it next time. The amarettor liquer added a nice, unique layer of flavor and the almond praline added a 'cruch' factor that make this pumpkin pie very tasty.

    I did not like the crust, but I liked the pie better than the traditional pumpkin pie. (I love amaretto. If I do it again, I might make it with a regular crust.

    This was a great addition to our Thanksgiving menu. I added some cinnamon to the recipe to give it a more traditional flavor. I had trouble with the praline topping...first attempt, it taste burnt...second and third attempts, the sugar crystallized. I used more water, 1/4 cup, and it worked great. I really enjoyed the flavors.

    It was good, but the original classic pumpkin pie is better. The crust was very tasty. The filling, it tasted better before it was cooked. I tasted the crust and the filling before baking it just to see and it seemed like wow, this will be delicious. Well, once I tried the finished product, I was a bit dissapointed. I liked making the topping, I'll totally use that on other pies in the future.
