CHEF COMMENTS

This is a great Thanksgiving recipe because it has more servings than a pumpkin pie, and you don't have to worry about the "dreaded" pie crust. It is also a nice dish if you are having company anytime during the month of November.

This is a wonderful dessert. I misunderstood the directions and reserved the cup of cake mix after mixing with butter and egg. Worked well because I only had to cut in the sugar and cinnamon. Saved on additional fat of 1/4 cup butter. Also, added 1/2 cup crushed pecans to the topping. Superb! December 12, 1999

Yummy! Everyone loved this alternative to pumpkin pie. One little tip, though. Don't cover it with foil when it's still warm. It makes the topping mushy... December 1, 2005
