Recipe forgot to list amount of 2nd addition of sugar. I used 1/4 cup and it seems to be ok. I had extra pumpkin so I added it, approx 1 1/2 tablespoon. Also, I was out of nutmeg so I used 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. I used graham cracker crust. Put pan of water on lower rack in oven to prevent cracking.
