I'm not a big fan of dates, but I really enjoyed this pie. The brandy and walnuts balanced out the sweetness of the dates perfectly.

This pie was a little too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. I think next time I'll use less sugar in the filling.

I've made this pie several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The filling is rich and decadent, and the crust is flaky and buttery.
