    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

    This was good. I used the microwave instead of an oven.
