Great Recipe! I dont like pumpin pie much, but this was good. The crumb crust is better than traditional. I cut down on the maple syrup just in case it was too sweet.

I've made this pie twice in the last 2 weeks. My sister-in-law and father-in-law (who both dislike pumpkin pie) loved this! I've been told this recipe needs to make repeat appearances throughout the year, not just for holidays. NOTE ¿ If you¿re family prefers a thicker crust like mine does, make sure you use a deep dish pan! The filling almost overflowed when I increased the depth of the crust on my second pie ;)
