This is one of my favorite recipes for pumpkin from my favorite chef…Paula Deen. My husband made it a couple of years ago for Thanksgiving and it was a huge success. It is easy to make and can be made a day ahead of the holiday. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family did.
Happy Holidays!

Those of you who have followed the blog for a while know I am a huge fan of Paula Deen. She is my cooking hero. Anyone who can cook with butter and not feel any shame has my vote for cook of the century.
This cheesecake recipe I tried last year when apples were in season and it was wonderful. Going to make it again in a couple of days so dug the recipe out and sharing it with you. Even if you are not a seasoned cook, this recipe is easy.

So anyway, a few minutes ago he was yelling that he didn’t have his pie crusts for his apple pie so he couldn’t make it, the apple pie that is. I said “why not make them yourself”, and you would think I grew two heads! “I don’t know how”, he says. As wonderful a baker as he is, he has never made pie crusts from scratch.
