Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

My Opinion: 

I would recommend this pie and it is worth it, but if you are going to make it, be sure you have an hour and a half or so set aside. This project does take time. Also when you take the pie out of the oven be sure not to cut into it just yet. It will not be solid enough quite yet. This recipe is quite hard the first time you make it. If you are making this and you have lots of extra dough you can make mini bite size pies that taste amazing!
