Reviews
“Wonderful recipe! This cooked up really nice. Thank you!!!”
“made this several times, everyone loves it. Making it for the holidays everyone wants one”
“I made this pie with Pillsbury premade crusts and it turned out really well. I used cranberries instead of raisins, but it was pretty tart, so next time I’m going to make it with raisins. I thought it was a little too sweet with the cup of sugar so I recommend using only 3/4 cup.”
