Made this for Thanksgiving and it was an absolute show stopper! Had some trouble getting the topping to brown, but after leaving it in for 10 extra minutes it was golden and crispy. Will make again, thanks!

Can I add marshmallows on top of this or would that mess it up?

In reply to Nancy Tune. aYes, you can freeze it prior to baking. When you are ready to serve, top it with the pecan topping and bake according to instructions. It will need a little longer in the oven if it is frozen.

I'm so pleased with this recipe! I went looking for something that could work with a pile of food restrictions while still feeling decadent for the holidays. I've rarely received such utterly glowing compliments for a dish!

Ingredients-wise, I didn't need to change much. The only substitution I made was using gluten-free flour (King Arthur's all-purpose) for the crust. I did go slightly heavier on the vegan butter (but only by maybe an extra tsp overall) and let the spices and salt all be on the 'heaping' side, and I used almond milk as my non-dairy milk of choice. The recipe didn't specify if the brown sugar should be packed, so I went with my gut and made those packed 1/4 cups in both places.

For the actual technique, again, I nearly followed the recipe as written (and thank you for writing it in a style that didn't assume all the prep would be done by a sous chef!). I didn't feel like taking out the food processor, so I used my trusty hand-crank nut chopper (seriously, they're the best for baking with nuts) and then mixed the crust by hand. Since I was bringing the dish to a potluck, I baked it in the stoneware insert for my crockpot, and then when I arrived I let it keep warm in the crockpot until we were ready. It took a bit longer in my oven to crisp - up more like 40 mins, but my oven runs a bit cool.
