Pumpkin Gingersnap Pie
I always enjoy putting a twist on classic recipes. I love the taste of gingersnaps and pumpkin so I had to put them together for this pumpkin gingersnap pie. The texture was not harmed in the making of the pie, if you were wondering. It's thick, creamy and a little ginger spicy love. You should probably try this recipe as soon as possible. That way, you will know that it needs to make an appearance at your dessert table on Thanksgiving Day.
This recipe is part of a collaboration. There a ton of other awesome bloggers bringing some amazing pumpkin recipes to this #virtualpumpkinparty too.
If you haven't checked out my other twist on pumpkin pie, head over and take a peek at my peanut butter pumpkin pie I did last year. The peanut butter gave the pie an extra creamy texture. Yum. Also, I used my mama's pie crust recipe that you can find in my orange meringue pie post.
