I made this pie today. The recipe makes two pies. One took longer than the other likely because it was in a deeper pie pan. I did not make it w the graham cracker crust because of the length of time in the oven, felt it would burn the crust. I really didnt taste persimmon, it was mostly a nutmeg flavor and its texture is like a pecan pie. Who doesnt like pecan pie!? :) I Overall, I would like to have tasted the persimmons more and I think it can be made without the butter and as much flour. Smells great. Im going to try making persimmon pie using the standard pumpkin pie recipe (but sub. w persimmon).
