REVIEWS:

My family LOVED this dessert. Since there are only 5 of us, I halved the recipe. It did overbrown a bit before it was finished so I took it out and the center wasn't quite done. Next time I will cook it the full 50 minutes, but put foil over it once it starts browning. This is a great recipe because you can keep the ingredients in the pantry and pull them out for last-minute company!

This was really yummy. It does get a bit puffy so to avoid overfilling (or having to clean your oven...lol) make sure you put it in a VERY deep pan. So easy and so inexpensive, but so tasty!

I made a little boo boo in the making process of my dessert instead of placing the dessert in the 13x9 pan i placed it in a smaller pan. The pie took forever to bake however when it was done my kids enjoyed it nevertheless. I will be trying this again.

This is a very easy and great tasting dessert. Even my three picky daughters, who wouldn''t touch cranberries in the past, loved it. We ate the first serving warm with cinnamon ice cream. I added 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon to the batter ingredients, and I am thinking about trying 1 full tsp. the next time I make this.

I came across this recipe several years ago. It was really simple to make and uses basic ingredients you already have in the house. It has always been a huge hit, since it is not to heavy, and is just the right balance of sweet and tart. My family asked me about making it this year and I''m so exited I found the recipe!

Tried it for the first time on Christmas day. Added chopped walnuts and a little cinnamon (I read the reviews first) and used heart-smart Bisquick and half sugar, half splenda for sweetening (my husband is diabetic). I live at high altitude, the baking instructions, my adjustments, and/or or my oven did affect the result. It rose beautifully, but the crust got hard and overbrowned. Once that was removed, though, the dessert was wonderful warm with some low-fat vanilla ice cream. I will be trying this again!
