If you're a pumpkin pie fan you'll love it. If you're not, this won't change your mind...but you'll like it better than the usual. I followed the recipe exactly. I think that's important if you want to give a true review about a recipe. At first taste I can say the first thing I thought of a rich spicy rum flavor of a good egg nog...but underneath it I could still taste the pumpkin...not a plus in my opinion. The praline pecan topping was awesome and will forever top any future pie of this nature...however, I think I will use sweet potato instead of pumpkin the next time. Then I think this will really be a killer pie. It's definitely better when allowed to rest in the fridge...preferably overnight. This does make a lot of filling and I ended up filling two 9" pie crusts (both of which I did NOT pre-bake, and it only took around 35-40 minutes to bake all the way through. The oven I used was not mine so I can't vouch for the calibration but I set it on 350 degrees.

The best pumpkin pie I have ever eaten. I had taken the advice from the previous review posts in what the temperature need be and to double up on the spices and Rum. Turned out perfectly.

Really good pie! I don't drink so I substituted about 1/4 teaspoon rum flavoring and it was great! I would definitely make this and serve it for company any time!

A few notes: This is for a DEEP DISH pie. And I did 425 for 15 minutes, then 350 for 50 minutes. A pumpkin pie takes lots of time, people! Don't take it out until the middle is ready. Shield the crust with aluminum foil if you need to keep it from over-browning.

Is it just me, or does this not make 2 pies? I followed the recipe exactly and had enough filling for two. Now I have to get out another crust right in the middle of everything!

Ok - so this was definately a CONVECTION recipe. I used the convection oven. I had enough filling for 2-3 pies. I made 2. When they cooled the filling had sunk in the pied to about 1/2 - a very thin pie. The flavor was good - but not a success.

Made this for Thanksgiving and unfortunately it was not good. The custard was bland and not smooth or creamy. The cooking times were a problem. I have a conventional electric oven and followed the suggestions from other posts. 425 for 10 min then 350 for approx. 45 min. It was difficult for the filling to set and the bottom of the crust was too brown for me. On a positive note the pecans were very good. I will not be attepmting this recipe again.

This is the best pumpkin pie ever although I omit the praline topping! I use it every Thanksgiving now and it's a family hit! The calorie content is higher than my traditional one, but I counteract that by making mini pies using a regular muffin tin, shaping the crust into each individual cup. With the pie filling, which is very plentiful, I can actually make around 36 to 42 mini pies. Note: Modified baking time and temperature for this process: 350° for 25 min.
