A Thanksgiving Treat-
In memory of my dear mother, one of her famous quick, easy and delicious desserts! She passed away on Christmas Eve, 2012 but baking something delicious from her recipe collection, "Real Grandmas Don't Serve Spinach," is one of the ways I honor her and keep her memory alive.
Pumpkin Pie Dessert has become one of our favorite recipes and is often requested by friends and family. We serve it all year round, although we usually make traditional pumpkin and pecan pies for Thanksgiving. This year we will leave the rolling pin behind and waiver from tradition a bit without sacrificing the aromas and flavors of pumpkin pie. By popular demand, Pumpkin Pie Dessert will be the star attraction on our Thanksgiving dessert table. For those pecan pie lovers, I'll be mixing toasted pecans into the crumb topping. It's so easy and quick, children can help but it's guaranteed to rate right up there with gourmet desserts that take hours to make. With it's sweet crumbly crust, rich filling and perfect topping, I know it will win the hearts of your guests this Thanksgiving or anytime throughout the year. So without further ado, I give you:
