Apple Butter + Pumpkin.

Now that I'm playing 50's housewife, I thought it only proper to visit my hometown bearing pies in hand. Naturally, given the season, I wanted to utilize the once-a-year orange deliciousness that is pumpkin. But from there, I was at a loss. Of course there's the obvious winner - pumpkin pie, but it just seemed, dare I say, boring? So I did a little research and found a recipe for Apple Butter Pumpkin Pie. Because really, who knows sugary sweetness better than Paula Deen herself? I've never used apple butter when baking before and thought it could add just the dash of variety I was craving. If you like the robust spiciness of gingersnaps (and I do!), than you'll certainly enjoy this last course. Add a little whipped cream and caramel praline crunch frozen yogurt and... mmm, you've got yourselves a winner!

 

 

Yes, I'd venture to say that's a success!
