                I wanted to try this because I am notorious for my pie crust failures. To my surprise, everything went well. The crust didn't melt away from the pan and slump into a shapeless mass when I prebaked it, and it didn't get soggy and remain underdone after I added the filling and baked it. The only problem was that it was too salty! 1.5 tsp of salt is way too much. It's a shame that I finally got the technique right but was done in by the ingredients list! Next time I will try with half a tsp.!

                I watched Martha Stewart make this recipe on Martha Stewart Bakes…looked wonderful….It's in the oven now….the problem I am having already is that I have more filling than I needed to fill the tart shell….So, I will make mini tarts with the remainder.  Should be fine….Why do all the recipes look so simple when you watch Martha???

                This is a delicious recipe. As mentioned, though, the press-in crust recipe will hardly be enough to fill a 9" pan.

                I had to double the crust recipe to fill the dish properly.  Also, my crust did burn.  I should have covered the edge the first time I baked the crust w/out the filling.  Other than that, it was very good!

                Btw, I did find tha the crust required less cooking time. Maybe ~15 minutes.  Just watch it and also, use foil or crust protectors to prevent the edges from burning.  The combo of shortbread and pumpkin filling is awesome!

                I found this crust to be too salty. Did anyone else have that experience? I used coarse sea salt.

                The crust is not pre-baked in a traditional pumpkin pie.  I've just made the crust and it seems thin, so I'm not going to pre-bake it.  I'll let you know how it turns out.

                This crust will burn. I followed the recipe three times and it burned each time. I love Martha's recipes and they have all been successes in the past, but this one is a disaster.
