This pie was a disaster! The crust was soggy and the filling was too runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I had some trouble getting the crust to come together, but once I did, the pie turned out great. The filling was delicious and the crust was flaky and buttery.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was a great recipe and I would definitely make it again.
