excellent
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I took your original receipe and tweeked it a little. I used honey instead of sugar, added vanilla and some whole star anise... to tweek the flavor a little and instead of using a reglar pie pan I used small tart cups for individual servings. I had pumpkin pie spices but added some extra cinnamon.Read more
