Answer 3

There's a lot of recipes out there for pumpkin cheesecake. Hits the pumpkin spot , but not a pie. Apple dumplings or crisp are an alternative to that typical dish. But a nice rice or bread pudding would also fit in with that type of meal.

Answer 4

Pumpkin Dip-

1 can of pumpkin filling (not pumpkin pie filling)
1/4 cup brown sugar
8 oz. of cream cheese (room temp)
cinnamon & nutmeg to taste

Mix well and serve with graham crackers. Make an excellent appetizer also.

Answer 5

Try a good Pecan Pie or a Fresh Apple Cake. A Mincemeat pie with Rum and Bourbon with a dollop of whipped heavy cream and sprinkle of cinnamon on top works also!

Answer 11

This may sound bad but it tastes great !. Try some fruit cake (date cake) and some warm topping of choice. If there are kiddies swap the topping for creamed rice.
