What’s your dessert plan for Thanksgiving? #ad This apple crisp is a go-to recipe of mine and I love it because you can make it ahead of time and reheat in the oven when it’s time to serve ❤️⁣
⁣
I like using the 8x8 baking dish by @elloproducts because it comes with an airtight and leak-proof kid, which is perfect to keep the crisp fresh (plus it’s BPA-free and dishwasher safe 🙌🏼)⁣

What makes a snickerdoodle a snickerdoodle? ⁣
Well, it’s basically a sugar cookie with cinnamon inside and out. There’s also cream of tartar, which adds a bit of tangy taste to complement the sweetness. When baked these cookie get their signature crackle top.⁣

Now do I have the ultimate fall dessert for you—pumpkin cheesecake with gingersnap crust⁣
⁣
I love pumpkin spice as much as the next girl, but what really made my tastebuds sing was this gingersnap crust. @staufferscookies ginger snaps are made with real ginger and molasses (read: no artificial flavors or colors or high fructose corn syrup) All natural flavor right here to complement the rich, creamy pumpkin cheesecake.⁣
⁣
If you’re in the mood for a real fall dessert, bake this pumpkin cheesecake. You can find @staufferscookies at Big Lots, HEB and Wegmans. Full recipe below⁣ ⁣
INGREDIENTS⁣
GINGER SNAP CRUST⁣
• 28 @Staufferscookies ginger snaps, crushed into fine crumbs⁣
• 1/4 c flour⁣
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger⁣
• 2 Tbs brown sugar⁣
• 1/4 c butter, melted⁣
PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE FILLING⁣
• 3 c cream cheese, room temp⁣
• 1 3/4 c sugar⁣
• 1 tsp cinnamon⁣
• 1/2 tsp ginger⁣
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg⁣
• 1/4 c flour⁣
• 1 tsp vanilla⁣
• 1 c pumpkin purée⁣
• 5 eggs, room temp⁣
• 1/2 c sour cream, room temp⁣
⁣
INSTRUCTIONS⁣
1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Line the bottom of a 10″ round springform pan with parchment paper. Grease the bottom and sides of the pan.⁣
GINGER SNAP CRUST⁣
1. In the bowl of a food processor, combine all of the ingredients and pulse until evenly mixed, about 1 minute. Press mixture into the springform pan making sure the sides are at least 1-inch high.⁣
2. Bake for 10 minutes. Set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 300° F.⁣
PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE⁣
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese on low speed for 2 minutes.⁣
2. Add the sugar, flour, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Mix for 2 more minutes. Halfway through, scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.⁣
3. Add the vanilla and pumpkin. Mix to combine, about 20 seconds. One at a time add the eggs, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream just until combined.⁣
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan/crust and bake for 60 minutes. The cake is finished when the sides are set, but the center 2 inches of the cake is still a bit wobbly. Turn off the oven, prop open the door, and allow the cake to slowly cool in the oven for one hour. Then remove cake from the oven, cover it and chill for 4+ hours

My weekend had so much potential, but most of it was spent taking care of @hudson.thegoldenpup Poor thing wasn’t feeling well and needed some TLC. ⁣
⁣
Staying home allowed me to catch up on things around the house and queue some holiday movies for when the season hits. Okay, I may have watch a holiday movie (or two), but I’m not sorry.⁣
⁣
Anyway, here are some maple pecan bars for you to add to your holiday menu or movie watching snacks 😋⁣

There’s pie and then there’s Milk Bar Pie 😍⁣
⁣
Have you had milk bar pie? Otherwise known as crack pie? It has an oat cookie crust and a filling that is pretty indescribable. It’s kind of like a custard, but richer, thicker and gooey.⁣
⁣
This is the kind of pie that will turn heads this holiday season. Full recipe and video on the blog!⁣

This weekend flew by and I didn’t even do that much. Watched Netflix, made Sunday morning waffles and walked @hudson.thegoldenpup around Denver. What did you get up to?⁣
⁣
Sometimes I have to remind myself that it’s okay not having tons of plans, especially being a new city. It’s nice to sit back and relax when you have the chance 😌 ⁣
⁣
One thing I wish I had done was make more of these apple crisp bars. It’s the most popular recipe on the blog right now and I’m envious of each and every one of you who baked them this weekend! It’s one of my favorite recipes too ❤️⁣
