Omitted the crust and the creamy topping, halved the sugar, replaced pecans with walnuts and cinnamon with garam masala, and baked in six buttered ramekins. Delicious slightly spiced tart dessert served with whipped cream.
I made this pie twice, substituting sugar with monk fruit or stevia, using store bought gluten free pie shell. Love this pie!
Was too dense and too dry. It never got juicy. Next time I’ll use less flour. And maybe a little more OJ.
