The pie turned out great. The extra T of Butter and Vanilla I put into the custard. Tasted great and I got rave reviews from my family and co-workers. Thanks!

Excellent final product - served cold not hot. However the recipe seems to have been repeatedly edited. Both the ingredients list and the previous reviews mention items not included in the recipe - so you'll need to be creative with these instructions.

Richard, you almost ALWAYS know how to "Wow" me! I wasn't sure where to put the vanilla or the cinnamon, so I put them in with the blueberries. My kids came home from school and gobbled half the pie right up! Thank you so much! Keep em comin big guy! LA :-)
