Festive Pumpkin Casserole With Crunchy Gingersnap Topping
Why I Love This Recipe
I created this recipe for the Bakespace/Archway Cookies Contest with the cookies they sent for me to experiment with. I love the combination of sweet, creamy pumpkin filling and a crunchy gingersnaps topping. It will be a great addition to our Thanksgiving table!
