I love Fall season! there is something nice in every season, but Fall and Winter really put you in a baking mood.While shopping at the grocery store with my son, there was something round and orange that caught his eye. Yes, it’s the pumpkin! So, he asked me if I can make one of his favorite pies? why not….?
I got the Pumpkin pie and pie crust recipe from browneyedbaker.com (one of my favorite sites) I used less of ginger.

  1. Oh my, this looks so delicious. I can just imagine how good it is. I have a real weakness for caramel – there's something so… tooth-meltingly delicious about it :D Did you ever try making your own dulce de leche? That's so good too!

  2. Nadia, this looks ridiculously good! Wow!

  3. @Charles.I love caramel too. but not all, I'm kind of picky about it. Yes I tried dulce de leche, but I make it the russian way, boiling the cans for 2-3 hours. it's really good for cakes.

  4. Thank you Jennifer!
