    I used olive oil instead of margarine and I removed the sugar in the filling. Thank you for sharing this recipe! :-) - 3/2/09

    A mouthful of Christmas! I used orange zest and juice instead of lemon and less sugar in fruit. - 12/16/08

    I made this recipe, substituting Splenda, and 3 T brown sugar Splenda for the brown sugar. Also, I used Benacol spread instead of margarine. It was delicious, and my husband I both loved it! I want to try other fruit. - 12/30/07

    This is really great! I used 2 tbsp agave nectar in the filling instead of the sugar, and only 2 tbsp brown sugar in the topping, and it tastes great! YUMMY! - 12/14/08

    I made this dessert for company and they raved about it. One stated that it was the best dessert he'd ever had. We had fresh wild cranberries gleaned from the woods near our cottage, so the dessert was extra special. I put the lowest calorie version of Cool Whip on top, adding 25 cals. ENJOY! - 3/15/07

    Consider substituting date sugar(ground dehydrated dates) for the sugar in this recipe. Much healthier, equally tasty! - 12/7/08
