    Just a wonderful pie . Thanks for sharing

  3. If the filling can be frozen, can you make this wusing frozen cranberries as well?

    1. Brenda – I wouldn’t because it will add extra water. You could try it, I just can’t guarantee how it will turn out.

  4. 5 stars
    Omg, I finally got around to making this (procrastinate much?!) and I LOVE it! I usually shy away from pies with regular pie crust, because I haven’t been successful with it, but I recently found a frozen crust I like, so I took a chance. This will be a new holiday tradition! Great taste, easy to make and delicious — win, win, win!
