If there is one thing that I absolutely love the most for Thanksgiving, it’s pie! Apparently though, not everyone is a pie fan. Say what? How could you not love pie? I mean, I don’t judge you for it, but pie is heavenly.
Fortunately, there are plenty of other amazing desserts that are just as delicious. Plus, you can take that old holiday tradition (pumpkin pie) and give it a little twist by turning it into a streusel.
This delicious Pumpkin Streusel will make everyone thankful that they came over for the Thanksgiving dessert eating schmorgesborg. You won’t be disappointed and you will be able to do it. This is such a simple dessert, you can’t mess it up.
