Pumpkin Dip #HolidaySideDish

This delicious dip is like Pumpkin Pie filling in a bowl.  I served it up with Pie Crust Crackers.  It's great with apple slices, too.  

Pumpkin Dip with Crackers

This tasty dip is perfect for a Holiday Buffet or for enjoying with coffee after your holiday dinner...
Heather from Hezzi D's Books and Cooks hosts this annual event.  This year, she invited us to share Holiday Side Dishes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.   On Monday, I served Roasted Delicata Squash and Sweet Potatoes with a Cranberry Gastrique, and on Wednesday I shared a delicious Butternut Squash and Apple Soup.  

For this final day, I am sharing a simple and delicious dessert.  This dip is a wonderful addition to your holiday dessert repertoire.  I was going to make homemade pie crust crackers, but then I came across some packaged ones at the grocer's.  They saved me a little time, cutting prep to about 5 minutes.

I took this dip to a Halloween Party that we were attending. It is perfect anywhere that a pumpkin pie would be welcome.  It is like having a decomposed pie.  You could garnish this with a sprinkle of pecans if you wish.  You could also serve them with fruit slices, cookies, or even pretzels.  I think I will serve them with Nilla Wafers over the holidays.

Stop by and see what the others are sharing on this final day.....

    1. They reminded me of when I was a kid and my mom would sprinkle the pie crust scraps with cinnamon and sugar for us to snack on.
