Crack Pie Recipe

I made the LA Times version of the recipe for Thanksgiving yesterday. Not all that impressed. Seems like it should be a bar and not a pie. One guest even asked if it was an actual pie. I was disappointed, hoping to give the guests a real treat, and it was just ho-hum.

gas oven not cooking evenly

I have an old Hardwick gas oven. i can't seem to bake anything evenly despite having had the temperature tested by the gas company and told that it was accurate. i have tried using a cookie sheet under my baking pan and reducing the heat, however i still get an overly cooked outside and undercooked inside. there's no way in hell my landlord is going to replace the oven unless there's a safety issue or the thing is flat out broken.
any tips for baking with an old gas oven to get evenly cooked food?

thanks!
