I know there are many pie bar recipes on this site, but I think there's room for another.

I dabbled with this one, until I got just the taste I was looking for. I love the creaminess of the filling and melt in your mouth crust, and just the right spice blend.

This would be a great addition to your Thanksgiving feast. A great alternative to pumpkin pie. They freeze well too!

Enjoy!
