A delicious twist on the traditional oatmeal creme pie. Very easy to make, looks professional, and has the perfect amount of pumpkin flavor without overpowering. Add to your Thanksgiving dinner for a non-traditional pumpkin flavored dessert!
02Pumpkin Creme Pies: Beat together brown sugar, sugar, oil and pumpkin. Add eggs one at time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla.
03In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients.
04Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined.
05Cut 3 inch squares of parchment paper, about 24. Using a pastry bag with a round tip, or a big zip top plastic bag with one corner snipped, squeeze out concentric circles of batter, starting from the middle and working outward until the circles are about 2 inches in diameter. (Note that the squares allow the baker to move the square while keeping the bag in the same spot. Just squeeze for easy circle making!)
06Transfer each square to a baking sheet. Bake for 11 minutes, or until firm, and cool on a rack.
07Cream Cheese Filling: Beat together cream cheese and butter. Add powdered sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Frost flat side of half the pies and top with another piece.
08Enjoy right away, or chill overnight. These keep very nicely in the fridge for at least a few days.
