[recipe*] Pumpkin Pie Squares

[Guest guest]

This is how we do dessert here on Thanksgiving.

One pumpkin pie is never enough, so we make it in

a pan this way.

 

 

Pumpkin Pie Squares

 

1 cup flour

1/2 cup quick-cooking oats

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup butter or margarine

 

Filling:

2 cans (15 oz each) pumpkin

2 cans (12 oz each) evaporated milk

4 eggs

1 1/2 cups sugar

2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp ground cloves

1 tsp salt

 

Topping:

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup chopped pecans

2 Tbs butter or margarine, softened

 

Combine first four ingredients until crumbly; press

into a greased 13 in. x 9in. x 2 in. baking pan.

Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Meanwhile, beat filling ingredients in a mixing bowl

until smooth; pour over crust. Bake for 45 minutes.

inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool.

No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,

No comfortable feel in any member -

No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,

No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds -

November!
