This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I had some trouble getting the lattice crust to stay together, but it still tasted great. I'll definitely be trying this recipe again.

This pie was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just because I'm not a big fan of cranberries. My husband loved it though, so I'll probably make it again for him.

This pie was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good. I might try using a different type of flour next time.
