A big hit with friends and family. A real treat for my friends in New England. A few tips... Pie is done when there is no wave while you pull out oven rack. Should be a firm top. To prevent top from cracking, turn oven off, then crack door open. Let rest in oven 15 minutes. Bake pie crust first. Make a collar around the crust with foil. Remove collar while pie is still hot. Use white vinegar. Serve cold. When I'm homesick for Texas, this is my serious comfort food. Thank you, Susie!

This was the best chess pie recipe ever. It was so delicious that I ate 3 pieces one right after the other. Thanks!!!

I love this recipe and everybody enjoyed the pie so much it's just like my grandmother made with a little tweak to it I love it will make it more often so easy to make until many people are pleased when you eat it

This was one of the easiest recipes I've ever used. I'm new to cooking still, but this pie was the BEST I've made so far! I used a store bought, deep dish pie crust. The only thing I changed was adding raisins & I also sprinked brown sugar on top. It was incredible! Thank you SO much for posting this recipe!

This turned out delicious. Note: I used a store bought crust that you put in your pie pan. Next time I may use slightly less sugar.
