This was excellent. Being diabetic, I love finding a recipe that is so easy to to convert to diabetic-friendly (which means watching sugar AND fat). I used Sugar Twin's Brown Sugar, and low fat (nuefchatel) cream cheese. Because Sugar Twin has a funky aftertaste, I added a splash (less than a TBS) of sugar free caramel drink syrup (the kind that you use to flavor coffee drinks. Huge hit! Definitely will be making this one again! -
Yum! I tried to make it as 'light' as possible - so I followed it perfectly except I used the whole 15oz can of pumpkin, and I used fat free cream cheese. Fabulous! -
I really didn't make this, my neighbor did. She brought it over to our Halloween party and it was soooo good! I think when I make it, I will go with Lightly Toasted suggestion to use a diabetic friendly sugar, like maybe the Splenda Brown Sugar. Thanks for the post! Yum! -
Amazing! Tastes just like pumpkin pie. -
This is just as good as pie filling, make pie crust strips and dip them, it's just like mini pumpkin pies. Yum!

I haven't tried this recipe yet, but over the weekend, we had a family gathering for Halloween and a cousin of mine made a delicious pumpkin dip. Instead of Apples she used cookie cutters and cut shapes out of pie dough. She brushed the dough with egg and sprinkled cinnamon and sugar on it. Just another option....

<p>Married to my sweetheart for almost forty years and we have two wonderful children who are grown and have flown the coop. Also, we have been blessed with a wonderful son-in-law and beautiful daughter-in-law, plus FIVE grandchildren: two beautiful granddaughters ages five and eight, and three sweet adorable little grandsons ages 2 months, 2 years and 3 years. My husband and I share a combination of English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Dutch, Swiss, Polish, Austrian, German and French heritage, and our son-in-law and daughter-in-law are both Hispanic. We've traveled extensively to many countries abroad (we lived in Germany), and have traveled and lived in several states here in the U.S.A. Many of the recipes I post here are influenced by our combined heritage or from our travels, or they are old family favorites that I want to share with you. I hope you enjoy! Have been to culinary school with many years of cooking (mostly for my family) under my belt, so know my way around a kitchen. And I'm very lucky to have the best sous chef in the world, dddddh! One of my favorite chefs of all time is Jacques Pepin! I have several of his cookbooks, and enjoy watching his television cooking show Fast Food My Way. Another top favorite is Julia Child (of course!). A few other chefs I read/enjoy watching on t.v. are: Giada At Home, Ina Garten's The Barefoot Contessa, Nigella Lawson's Nigella Bites, and Patti's Mexican Kitchen, and many more. On my bucket list is dining at Thomas Keller's establishment The French Laundry in Napa Valley, California... as well as Alice Waters' Chez Panisse in Berkeley, and the James Beard award winning Tartine Bakery and Cafe in San Francisco. One day!! Hobbies/Interests: Decorating with fresh flowers and herbs from the garden is my passion, and brings me deep joy! It's really hard to beat!! I love connecting with others who enjoy the same. Gardening, decorating, sewing, music, dancing, film, and reading are also up there. Spending quality time with my grandchildren, family, and friends (and cooking holiday meals!). Currently, a newfound passion has been so richly rewarding for me: genealogical research. I heart ancestry dot com. And last but certainly not least, I absolutely LOVE cats--we have two half-Siamese fur babies (cats) that allow us to live here!! A Note of Thanks~ I try to personally thank everyone who kindly makes and reviews my recipes, but sometimes I am busy, late, or may forget. Please know that I am always humbled that you would try one of my recipes, and I enjoy reading the reviews and seeing all the pretty photographs. Thanks so much! </p>
