I just made this with Splenda, works like a charm! My Dad has to watch his sugar, so this was a dream come true for him. Also, I put this in my crockpot the baking time would be on high for 4 hours. Browns up nicely and tastes like you put it in the oven.

Very nice dessert. It is very similar to one that I make with rhubarb so I knew I'd enjoy this. Thanks Derf. Roxygirl

So light and yummy! Followed the directions exactly and am very pleased. Just the right amount of sweetness from the sugar versus the tartness of the raspberries. Mine was done in 50 minutes exactly. Will definitely make again!
