I took someone elses advice and I used 1 cup of whole milk and 1 cup of evaporated milk for mines. I made a double recipe so everything was doubled. I also used a stick of butter because I was doing two pies. Used the deep dish pie shells because regular would have not been deep enough. other wise great recipe and great aroma throughout my home. It isnt like moms but it was still a hit in my house. Read More

The pie was very good & set up beautifully; however, brown on top because of too much nutmeg. Next time, I will use half of nutmeg & 3/4 c. sugar instead of 1c. Read More

The taste and texture of this pie reminded me much of a flan pie which is quite common here in Belgium. I thought it lacked a little bit of flavor so next time I might increase vanilla extract add cinnamon or stir in some raisins soaked in rum. Excellent easy recipe though! Read More

This was missing something...butter. So I added butter to this recipe. But if you want something sweet and simple this recipe is simple and you probably have all of the ingredients right in your cabinets. Read More

This was a good pie but was a bit bland even with some adjustments. I'd added a bit more vanilla 1 tsp. of cinnamon substituted 1/4 c. of sugar with Splenda and I only used 5 eggs instead of 6 (didn't want it to be too "eggy" tasting). Next time I may use egg substitute and I think I'll add a bit more sugar (or use some brown sugar) and add even more vanilla to see if it'll boost up the flavor. This is a good base recipe to work with though. Read More

This was super-easy and quite good. I think it's meant for a deep 9-inch crust though because I made a mess. Next time I will probably halve the nutmeg and add more vanilla. Read More

excellent - custardy - messy though glad I thought to use a cookie sheet to transfer into the oven - you definitely need a deep dish pie crust or 2 standard pre-made. thanks! Read More
