This pie was not what I expected. The filling was too runny and the crust was too thick. I would not recommend this recipe.

The pie crust was a bit difficult to work with, but the filling was delicious. I would recommend using a different crust recipe next time.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling next time.

I've made this pie several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The crust is always crispy and flaky, and the filling is perfectly sweet and creamy. I love that I can use either fresh or canned sweet potatoes.
