    The filling was OK, but the topping didn't turn out at all.

    I've aways enjoyed Paula's recipes but this one is lacking flavor. The texture is off and really needed help. I added butter and an extra egg yolk but it still was flat. Finally added the butterscotch chips to the filling and that helped. Most cooked pie fillings state how low to cook (2 minutes but this one doesn't. Will not make this again.
