Pumpkin Apple Muffins

Pumpkin Pecan Baked Oatmeal
“This Pumpkin Pecan Baked Oatmeal is my new favorite. It almost comes out cake like with an even nuttier flavor than the original recipe.

Pumpkin Spice Fudge
“Yum! This pumpkin fudge recipe is delicious. It's full of fall pumpkin and spice flavor mixed with crunchy pecans. This fudge is rich, but not too rich for our taste buds. You'll find yourself sneaking into the kitchen to keep taking a nibble. A fantastic fall dessert.” - Kitchen Crew

Pumpkin Maple Pull-Apart bread with Whiskey Sauce
“A yummy bread with lots of warm, fall flavors. I took this to my office and it was devoured. You can omit the whiskey to make it a little more kid friendly if you are concerned about the alcohol. Making the bread is time consuming, but the final result is well worth it!” - Lindsey
Pumpkin Cobbler
“This may become your go-to fall dessert. Our Test Kitchen smelled divine while this was baking. The cobbler doesn't have the typical pumpkin pie spices which is a nice change to typical pumpkin desserts. Buttery and sweet, the crust is a nice foundation for the creamy pumpkin mixture and the slightly crunchy topping. It's yummy!” - Kitchen Crew
Pumpkin Bundt with Cheesecake Pecan Filling
“I made this cake this year for Thanksgiving instead of a pumpkin pie. I actually added my pecan pieces to my frosting instead of just sprinkling them on top. It was the most delicious cake we have had during the holidays. I have been told this is one I will now need to make every year. So I have gladly added it to my annual holiday recipes. It was fabulous & thank you for sharing I now have another wonderful recipe to pass down.” - Rhonda
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
“These are the perfect cookies for the fall and the holidays as they make your kitchen smell of pumpkin spice while they cook. The cookies are more cake-like when baked and delicious. They have the perfect balance of spice with a touch of sweetness from the chocolate chips. We added walnuts and they gave the cookies a crunch. Powdered sugar on top is a great final touch and make them look fancy.” - Kitchen Crew
Granny’s Grand Cake & Pumpkin Cheesecake Filling
“When I was little I remember the great smells that filled my granny's home when she would make her special cake. I was blessed to have a wonderful loving granny to pass on wonderful recipes to me and my family, like this one. This is always on top of the request from family and friends during the Holidays and Special times!!” - Brenda
Pumpkin Gingerbread Layer Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
“Thank you for this divine recipe Laurie, It is most definitely granddaughter tried and approved. 😉 I made half the batter into oven-baked donuts and the other half into cupcakes this time. It makes an impressive presentation as a layer cake, too.” - Renée
