By Jeanne Burkeson, Riverview Woman’s Club Co-Founder & Board of Directors
This is, quite simply, the best pumpkin pie I've ever had--family and friends eat every morsel!
Ingredients:
Crust:
- 6 oz gingersnap cookies
- 1 TBS dark brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp unsalted butter, melted
Filling:
- 16 oz can of Pumpkin Puree
- 1 cup half and half
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use a glass pie plate.
For the crust, combine the gingersnaps, brown sugar, and ginger in chopper. Process until the cookies are the consistency of fine crumbs. Drizzle butter into the crumb mixture.
Pour crust into pie plate and press up the sides. (Use a second pie plate to press firm.) Place on a cookie sheet and bake crust for 10 minutes. Cool crust for at least 10 minutes.
For the filling, bring the pumpkin puree to a simmer over medium heat in a 2 quart saucepan, stirring occasionally for 2-3 minutes. Add half and half, nutmeg, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir and return mixture to a simmer. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
Whisk the brown sugar, eggs plus yoke until smooth in a large bowl. Add the pumpkin mixture and whisk until thoroughly combined.
Pour the prepared filling into the warm pie crust and bake 45 to 50 minutes, until set. Cool on a cooling rack for 3 hours before serving.
Apple Breakfast/Brunch Bake
By Susan Wentzell, Riverview Woman’s Club Board of Directors
I’ve made this super-easy Apple Bake during the holidays for years. An early riser, I pop it in the oven and 25 minutes later, the house is filled with the smell of fresh apples and cinnamon rolls. It’s yummylicious on Day 1 and just as good reheated in the microwave days later. Hands down, it's the kids’ breakfast/brunch favorite!
Ingredients:
-2 packs cinnamon rolls (leave icing out)
-4 eggs
-1/2 cup milk
-1 TBS cinnamon
-2 TBS butter or margarine -2 Granny Smith apples, diced -1 cup brown sugar, packed
Instructions:
Preheat over to 375 degrees. Coat a 9X13 pan with nonstick spray.
Evenly spread the cinnamon roll dough pieces. Set icing aside. In a medium bowl, combine eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla, stirring until smooth. Set aside.
In a pan over medium heat, combine margarine/butter, apples and brown sugar, cooking until sugar starts to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
Pour the egg mixture over the cinnamon rolls, spreading evenly, followed by the apples. Drizzle the reserved icing on top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown. Serve with Cool Whip or even ice cream!
