Yummy fall Desserts

This is one of the best desserts for pumpkin that I have! oh and did I mention it is easy?!

Praline Pumpkin Dessert

1 can pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
1 can (12 oz.) Evaporated milk
3 eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1 package golden vanilla cake mix with pudding (any white or yellow cake mix with pudding works good.)
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans or walnuts
3/4 C. margarine or butter, melted
Sweetened Whipped Cream or whipped topping
additional pumpkin pie spice to sprinkle on to

Heat the oven to 350. Grease the bottom and sides of a 13x9 inch pan.
Beat the pumpkin, milk, eggs, sugar and 4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice in a medium bowl with a wite whisk until smooth. Pout into the greased pan.
Sprinkle the dry cake mix over the pumpkin mixture. Sprinkle the pecans. Pour the melted margarine evenly over top of the dessert.
Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Just before serving add a small amount of whipped topping on top and sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice. Cover and refrigerate any remaining desert.

You all may have these recipes, but these ones are from my friend Natalie that always makes yummy desserts and they have now become my favorite fall sweet!

Cobbler:

12 tbs Butter softened(ok that is why it is so good!)
1 C. Sugar
1 C. Flour
2. Eggs
about 2 1/2 cups of fresh or frozen fruit (I like peaches mixed with berries best)

Put in fruit, mix topping together and bake in oven @350 for 45 min. or until brown and a little crispy.


Apple Crisp

3-4 apples (green always taste better cooked.)
3/4 c. Quick oats
3/4 c. Brown Sugar
1/2 c. Flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. butter
1/8 tsp. nutmeg

put apples in bottom of dish sprinkle with a little sugar and cinnamon if desired and mix up topping and place on top Bake @350 for 35 min. or crispy!

Apple Dip
This one we found last fall- so Good and fun for kids

8 oz. Cream Cheese
1/2 c. Brown Sugar
1/4 C. Honey
1 tsp. Vanilla
Cinnamon to taste

*mix all together and serve with apple slices

Sour cream cookies
these are like sugar cookies, but softer and more tastefull! Fun to make pumpkin cookies!

1 c. Shortening
2 c. Sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 c. Sour Cream
1/2 tsp. Soda
5 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
5-6 cups of flour

Cream shortening and sugar, then add eggs one at a time. Add vanilla and sour cream. mix together all dry ingredients and then add to the rest of mixture and mix together. roll out dough and cut with cookie cutters. Bake @350 fro 8-10 min I never really let the bottoms get brown that way they are a lot more soft! So watch them carfully!

-I was blog surfing and found this site. My family has a similar sour cream cookie recipe! they are to die for! thanks for reminding me. I kinda thought only we made these! too fun! Thanks (they are better when they are undercooked. they do stay softer. thanks!)
