This was great - so easy to make and came out perfectly. I made it for my father because custard pie is his favorite and he said it was the best he ever had. The only thing I did differently was to use a vanilla bean instead of vanilla extract. I had never made custard pie before but after this I will make it again because this recipe is great!

I would like to give this recipe 5 stars but because I altered it I don't feel I should. First, I lined the pan with foil and buttered the bottom and sides using the one tablespoon asked for in the recipe. I then completely lined the bottom with pecan halves (rounded side down). I mixed the brown sugar and butter and dropped it on TOP of the pecans. From there I pretty much followed the recipe except I mixed the brown sugar/flour right into the apples rather than layering it. Oh, I also used Macoun apples because that's what I had. I folded the excess foil up around the pie to prevent excess browning. When it came out of the oven, I flipped it within 5 minutes into a slightly rounded plate (to accommodate the rounded top- well I guess it is the bottom now!). I served this at Thanksgiving and everyone loved it! So basically a good recipe that needed a little tweaking.

This was a very good recipe. I thought the combination of spices was perfect. I cooked it on my George Foreman grill and it came out juicy and flavorful. I would recommend this recipe. It is not too spicy and very flavorful!
