I eliminated the cherry pie filling in making this pie and it was still very good.Next time I will include the cherries especially for President's Day.It was a nice light ending to a dinner party. I decorated it with sliced strawberries and sliced oranges.
The versions I have had only contained walnuts and pineapple. Not much to make you feel its worth a million bucks! I made the recipe as is, except I used a can of whip cream and not Cool Whip. I don't like the texture of Cool Whip and let's be honest...its just oil! One full 7oz. can of whip cream is enough, I also added walnuts to the mix. It came out a beautiful pink color and you could see the beauty of oranges and cherries peeking through. I made it before work and after a long day I looked forward to my time alone...hmmmm!! I will use this recipe for an upcoming potluck and every chance I get at home : )
Simply Delicous! Made as is..except I used a 9x13x2 pan and baked the graham cracker crust. Cut into squares. Everyone loved it. Thank you for the recipe.
Thank you so much for posting this recipie!!! My mother used to make this when I was a kid and I loved it!!! Great desert!
I delete the cherry filling and add a drained can of fruit cocktail...delicious
My MIL made this for fourth of July in the summer and it's soooo good. Thanks for sharing the recipe. We add pecans but then we add pecans to every dessert!
We enjoyed this as a light summer dessert. I did leave out the oranges and used a pecan shortbread crust. Thanks for sharing Glenda!
Brought this to a potluck in a 9x13 and it got RAVE reviews. The little bit that was left over was quickly claimed by the hostess as I got ready to leave. Personally I thought it was good but not amazing. I don't feel the oranges added much so I'm still looking for my own perfect "million dollar" pie.
Loved it. Added coconut though. Rich flavor.
