These pumpkin pie squares are a wonderful alternative to traditional pumpkin pie. A buttery graham cracker crust is topped with a creamy and spiced pumpkin filling, making it the perfect fall dessert. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these delicious squares that will impress your family and friends. Serve them chilled with a dollop of whipped cream for a truly indulgent treat.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree

  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
