Delicious! The chai tea made a wonderful addition. The kitchen smelled so good as the apples were cooking on the stovetop. Took it to work and everyone loved it. I do think it was Very sweet. I'd probably cut back on the brown sugar next time. Worth trying!!

Very tasty pie, but extremely sweet. If I make it again, I would only use ½ cup of pecans and ¼ cup of Brown sugar.

I made this pie for the 1st time last night. It turned out so beautiful. Easy to make, and the spice of the Chai Tea really added a unique flavor to the apples.
