Absolute winner! This pie takes little effort, but it's so worth it! I made some adjustments, just a personal preference of ours. I only used 1/2 can of sweetened condensed milk, because I experimented with this type of cheesecake before and found it to be the right consistency and sweetness for us, and we do like sweet. Also, I used little less butter for the crumb topping, to have it more crunchy. For the cranberry sauce I used recipe Brown Sugar Cranberry Sauce and it worked really nicely. For the crust I used recipe Cookie Pie Crust, wonderful! Result was really super yummy. Many thanks for great recipes!
