Addey did our Pie of the Month this time! :D

'''Pumpkin Pie''' (from scratch)

Ingredients:
*1 cup sugar - or 1 cup Splenda, or 3/4 cup honey (honey may make a heavier pie, though)
*2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
*4 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
*1.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
*1 teaspoon ground cloves
*1 teaspoon ground allspice
*1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
*1/2 teaspoon salt 
*4 large eggs
*3 cups pumpkin ("sieved, cooked pumpkin")
*1.5 cans (12oz each) of evaporated milk
*1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract 

Bake at 425 F for the first 15 minutes, then turn the temperature down to 350 F and bake another 45 to 60 minutes, until a butter knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Here is the finished pie, right out of the oven:

I prefer graham cracker crust (homemade) but you can use a frozen pie shell, or packaged graham cracker crust shell. My recipe for homemade graham cracker crust is below. 

Ingredients:
*1-2/3 cups graham cracker crumbs
*1/4 cup sugar
*1/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons butter, melted

Directions:
#Thoroughly mix the ingredients until it becomes slightly sticky to the touch and can be formed into a small ball. 
#Put your crust mixture into a pie pan and smooth out around the bottom of the pan and edges.


'''Pumpkin Cream Cheese puffs'''


Ingredients:
*Your pumpkin pie mixture from above. 
*One package of cream cheese. (The kind wrapped in foil. Make sure you let it sit and get to room temperature.)
*Four cans of croissant dough. (Mini-croissants that make 8 per can.)


Directions:
#Take a spoon and smooth mixture over one entire side of the croissant and roll. It will be rather thin, but when it bakes, it thickens. 
#Bake in oven at 375F for 9-11 minutes or until golden brown. 
#Sprinkle with powdered sugar and cinnamon. 


Here is a picture fresh from the oven:
