I like that you left out the spices in the pie. I also thought that they were very autumn-ish and I wasn't grooving on that for a springtime pie. I think that it looks so wonderful & sophisticated in the tart form!

Um, is there any way for your presentation to be any more PERFECT?! That is gorgeous! Hahah the flavors were very autumn-y, but they were excellent! When the fall rolls around, you should add the nutmeg and cinnamon!

Oh, your tart looks perfect! My crust was a little thick, but it was the first time I used the little pans. I thought about a nilla wafer crust, too. I’m sure it would be great!

Love…love your piping on the pie.

Am thinking I should use my tart pan more then I do as it makes a better looking pie!

This looks devine. I am loving all the different interpretations of this recipe. And yours works so well in the tart shell.

Thank you for the sweet compliment! This pie looks AMAZING! I think I might leave out the nutmeg next time…a little too “Christmasy” for me, but still delish! Beautiful pictures! Thanks for baking with me this week!

Oh I suck at crimping too and I think due to your beautiful pie, I have found a solution! Beautiful!

I am awful at crimping! I’m always amazed at creative types that can make their topping/icing/decorating look so professional.

Best looking banana cream pie I’ve seen all day (or no, evening! LOL)

Very, very nice and totaly fancy!

I’m good at crimping pie crusts, but Dorie’s crust isn’t, ha ha. It always melts to mush in the oven. I find that shortening crusts hold the crimp better but then you’re cooking with shortening. Oh well, I think you were brilliant to circumvent the entire problem and make a stunning tart. I hope it compared favorably to the home town favorites!

How beautiful! I think I would enjoy a more traditional banana cream pie, too. I love your idea of making a pie in a tart pan – must try it!

Pie looks great!!! I tried to decorate my crust to no avail. Ah, well. We continue on.
