Tips:
- For a sweeter pie, use more brown sugar in the filling. - To add a bit of tartness, use fresh cranberries instead of frozen. - If you don't have a pie plate, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish. - Be sure to let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together. - Serve the pie with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.Conclusion:
