Snappy Pumpkin Dessert image

Our town has a pumpkin-canning factory, so we're known as the "Pumpkin Capital of the World." New pumpkin recipes are always welcomed by our family, and this has become a favorite. The gingersnap crust is the perfect flavor pairing to the pumpkin. -Nilah Fischer, Morton, Illinois

I made a few changes to the recipe and it turned out great! I used a graham cracker crust instead of a pie crust and added some chopped walnuts to the filling.
