Yum! I cut the brown sugar to 1/2 cup and the white sugar to 1/4 cup. I'll cut it down again next time. My tastes go towards the 'less sweet' side. I added a bit if fresh nutmeg with the cinnamon wanting it to taste more like my pies. It was wonderful. This is the recipe I was hoping for. A tweak this way or that does not make the original recipe less perfect. I think I'll try adding finely chopped nuts into the 'crisp' next time. The options are endless really. Thank you so much Dave.

I took this to a dinner party last night, and everyone loved it. They said it was a whole different experience from a baked blueberry pie. I did like someone in the photos... made pastry cutouts for the top and baked them while the crust was baking. I used the 1/4 tsp of vanilla, almond, cinnamon others suggested. Next time I'll omit the cinnamon. (Completely a person taste with that) I think that without the cinnamon it will taste even more like a 'fresh berry' pie. I used the 1/2 c sugar thinking it would not be too much, but next time I'll cut that back a bit. Served with vanilla ice cream this was fantastic. I will definitely make it again.

I took this to a dinner party last night. Everyone loved it. The streusel on top was fantastic and really added to the over-all yumminess. I did make more streusel than called for, and toasted the pecans first. I cut the sugar in the pie down by a third. I'm not a sweet sweet lover and found this to be perfect. I served it with vanilla ice cream. I'll definitely make it again.

This is a sure winner. I add only half the caramel though, because it ends up too sweet for my taste buds. It's one of those "died and gone to heaven" cakes.

Perfect!

This is the very best pumpkin pie ever. I've been using this recipe for over 30 years. (oh my gawd... I hate being old enough to say that!) I've tried others and they just don't measure up.

I don't know how you give 4.5, but that's what I'd give this. It's a wonderful "base" for what I ended up doing. I added more of the herbs... and other things as well; like granulated garlic, sage, some of chicken broth powder (instead of salt) I had frozen leftover turkey breast that was waiting for just the right recipe. I added potatoes and green beans on top of what's called for. I used someone's idea of Bisquick on top because it just made it so simple. I put parsley in that. Man, we both thought it was to die for. Thank you so much for sharing!
