"Here were my experiences:
1; I burned the heck out of the first 2. I had better success baking it on the lowest rack in the oven for the first 30 minutes, then moving it up one rack notch for the remainder.
2: The apple jack is the only moisture for the crust, I used too little in all three of my first attempts. 7-9 tbl spoons is probably what’s needed.
3: The sea salt is a touch strong in the current proportion.
4: The stock image shown for the recipe is not what you'll be making, because the image shows a deep pie dish whereas the recipe only calls for a 2 inch deep pie pan.
5: I was able to substitute cardamom in place of the grains of paradise spice.
