I found that this recipe gets better when made one to two days prior to serving. This year was the first time I made it. I think next time I make it I will try without the addition of lemon. However, it did get rave reviews from everyone.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds in this recipe. It turned out great!

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add a little more cinnamon to the filling.
