Description
This Creamy Pumpkin Pie Cobbler recipe is my deconstructed version of a favorite fall dessert. The spicy and sweet pumpkin filling has a smooth, yet cake-like texture. Unlike traditional cobblers, the crust is decorated with fall leaves using Wick’s Pies 9″ Circle Rounds. Breaking that flaky crust with a spoon is so very satisfying.
This pumpkiny dessert is easy to put together, and can be a lot of fun for the kiddos. I am certain they will enjoy helping to make the pie crust cutouts. This recipe should make it onto to your Thanksgiving dinner table.
