Very good and very easy. Serve warm with Reddy Whip or ice cream. It is very attractive dessert and low in calories even with the crust. Will definitely make again. I am going to try it with apples and cranberries the next time I make it. Thanks for sharing.

This is really good, and so easy for such a fancy dessert! Loved the tart/sweet contrast. Didn't have apple pie spice so used cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom. Made for Fall 2008 PAC.
