Served this for DH's birthday, when family was over. This recipe could not have been easier or faster to make and the presentation was nice. My family said they liked it, but no one asked for the recipe, raved about it, or had seconds. My mother said she thought it could have been a tiny bit sweeter.

Was looking for something easy to bake on a lazy Sunday afternoon & also had a craving for a dessert with cranberries.Ran across this recipe that perfectly fit the bill.I used fresh cranberries that I had frozen. I did not thaw them first & I do not think the result was affected in any way.Also sprinkled a good amount of turbinado sugar on top.Came out wonderfully! Thanks for a tasty dessert that required very little labor!

This seems to be almost more of a cake baked in a pie plate than an actual pie. However, as a cranberry lover I found the flavor to be excellent. The batter provides just the right amount of sweetness to contrast the tart berries. Warm with French vanilla ice cream, the dessert is lovely. It was a great addition to our Thanksgiving table.
