Easy Pumpkin Pie Bars

Over the last few weeks I’ve been trying out a few new pumpkin dessert recipes for Thanksgiving dinner. I’m sure by now my family is sick of pumpkin, but I finally found one that I love! The bottom layer tastes like pumpkin pie, but it’s topped with a yummy crumble that makes it taste even better.

Ingredients:

• 1 (15oz) can of pumpkin
• 1 (12oz) can evaporated milk
• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp allspice
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp ginger powder
• 1/2 c white sugar
• 1/4 c brown sugar
• 1 box yellow cake mix
• 4 full pieces of cinnamon graham crackers, crushed
• 3/4 c melted butter

Directions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 13 x 9 baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, mix pumpkin, milk, eggs, spices and sugars until well combined. Pour into prepared pan.
3. Sprinkle entire cake mix over the pumpkin mixture, then sprinkle the graham cracker on top of that. Next, pour melted butter over the top.
4. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center. Cool for at least 30 minutes, then cut into squares.

We ate this yummy dessert all by itself, but I’m sure it would taste great with a little bit of whipped cream too! Enjoy!
