I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pie turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

The crust on this pie was a little too thick for my liking, but the filling was very tasty.

This pie is a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use a little more seasoning.

I love this recipe! It's so versatile and I can easily change up the ingredients to suit my taste. I've added feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and even chopped bacon to the filling.

I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but this pie was surprisingly good! The raisins and pine nuts really helped to balance out the flavor of the spinach.
