Very tasty dish that is a good balance between sweet cake and tart cranberry tastes. I did not have almond extract so sub-ed orange extract instead. I liked the hint of orange. Baked it in a 8" sq pan for 46 min. This would make a good holiday coffee cake.

When I saw the picture of this dessert I thought it looked so good and easy to make and then I tasted it...it has a very strange texture that I was not expecting.

Ok folks, can you say "Tarty, nutty and simply delicious?" Than this unique dessert will not disappoint you. I make this wonderful dessert to compliment the Amish Breakfast Casserole (from this website) every holiday for my family and I always get smiles all around! I do tweak it a little bit by 1) sub roasted, crushed Almonds vs walnuts (which we prefer the taste) 2) dec almond extract to 3/4 tsp w/1/4 tsp vanilla extract and 3) made a brown sugar/almond strusel topping of: 1/4 cup crushed almonds, pinch of sea salt, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons flour mixed together. Again, it is a unique dessert that pairs up with a rich casserole/main dish. Oh, and don't forget the vanilla ice cream on top..delicious!

Very, very good. Easy, simple ingredients, and different from a lot of holiday desserts. I read other reviews and used the 1/4 t. almond, 3/4 t. vanilla and 1/2 t. orange extracts. A full t. orange wouldn't have been too much, but I was being cautious the first time around. I also used 1/2 c. lightly toasted almonds in place of the walnuts. I baked it in an 8" square pan because it just sounded like a recipe that would cut better that way.

I made this for Thanksgiving and it was a hit! I think you could make this with any type of berry and it would be great.

Quick and easy...used sliced almonds instead of walnuts. Also reconstituted some dried cranberries instead of fresh or frozen. Still very calorie dense per slice, so next step is to try to lighten it up.

Most amazing "Crustless" pie I've ever had! I'm not a walnut fan, so I used slivered almonds. And it made this simple desert scrumptious. I make it every Thanksgiving and any time I want to impress! Thanks for this recipe!
