These sound amazingly delicious but I live alone and this is way too large a recipe for me. Can it be cut to a smaller amount?

Just cool and cut into pieces of your liking and then put the amount you can’t eat in a few days in a container and freeze them. Or…wrap them individually in plastic wrap and freeze that way and then take out as you want. An individual piece will thaw in about an hour.

I’ve made this several times. It’s in the oven now. Instead of can raspberries, that I can’t find. I cook down organic raspberries, and use as a topping. I also make a sour cream topping with some lemon juice. So easy and delicious. My neighbor and good friend. Also makes it now. 5 plus!! We Love it. If any is left I freeze it!

This recipe looks amazing. So excited to make this. I do have a few questions though. Can this recipe be doubled for a 13×9 baking pan? Also, could a person switch out the raspberry pie filling for another flavor? Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe.
