Gingersnap Pumpkin Pie Recipe (Tasteofhome.com)

From Simple & Delicious What a yummy pie! A nice twist on tradition, and my kids loved it! The pie was sent to Taste of Home from Liz Raisig of New York City. I don't see a mistake in this, but have quit using this site because I cannot delete my posted recipes. Since the review is from a non poster, who has only left a single review I point out that I have only posted 2 recipes and am not a profesional. I have never left an unpleasant review. I hate this site now.
