Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie
Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie with Cinnamon Bun Oreo Crust
& Topped with Apple Cider Caramel
Goddesses gather round to learn how to make this spectacular Thanksgiving dessert. It is a pumpkin pie, a cheesecake and a cinnamon bun all in one.
Creamy pumpkin cheesecake, with just the right amount of spice, is supported by a Cinnamon Bun Oreo crust. It is a trifecta of Thanksgiving dessert flavors! The family will be thankful for this delicious dessert and you will be pleasing the diversified dessert palettes of your guests.
The apple cider caramel is outrageously delicious - so delicious that it is surprising it is not used more widely. It can be made up to a week ahead and refrigerated in a tightly covered container. Remember to place it in a pretty serving bowl with a pretty spoon. Don’t forget the dollop of whipped cream on the pie slice!
Happy Baking!
Happy Thanksgiving!
