About

Pumpkin pie is great, but let's switch it up this year! Pumpkin Pie Bake still provides your Thanksgiving gatherers with that spicy, creamy, seasonal taste, but instead of a crunchy crust on the bottom, they'll get layers of a crumbly, moist yellow cake. It's the perfect yummy twist that will still keep things pretty traditional! You, and everyone who gets a slice, will be super thankful for the sweetness this Pumpkin Pie Bake brings! It's sure to end your festive feast with a bang!
