(15 pumpkin puree

Celebrate autumn with this seasonal baked cheesecake. With a moreish, lightly spiced, creamy filling and crunchy ginger base, it's well worth the effort

Pumpkin cheesecake

butter, melted,

digestive or ginger biscuits

full-fat soft cheese

pumpkin purée

light brown soft sugar

plain flour

large eggs, plus 1 large yolk

whipping cream

cinnamon or pumpkin spice,

pecans, chopped

tbsp caramel sauce

Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Butter a deep 22cm loose-bottomed cake tin and line with baking parchment. Wrap the base and side of the tin with three layers of cling film, followed by three layers of foil (this helps keep it waterproof during baking). Fold a clean tea towel and put it in the base of a large roasting tin.

Blitz the biscuits to crumbs in a food processor. Add the melted butter and pulse to coat the crumbs. Tip the mixture into the prepared cake tin, spreading up to the side and pressing down with the back of a spoon. Bake for 10 mins. Remove from the oven, brush with the egg white and bake for another 3 mins (this will help stop the base from becoming soggy).

To make the filling, put the soft cheese in a bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, and beat with an electric whisk or the mixer until loosened. Add the pumpkin purée, sugar and flour and beat again until combined. With the motor running, gradually add the eggs and egg yolk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Pour the filling over the baked biscuit base, then sit the cake tin on the tea towel in the roasting tin. Pour a kettleful of just-boiled water into the roasting tin so the water comes halfway up the side of the cake tin.

Bake for 10 mins, then reduce the oven temperature to 110C/90C fan/gas ¼. Bake for a further 1 hr 30 mins until the cheesecake is set with just a slight wobble in the middle when you gently shake the tin. Turn off the oven, then open the oven door slightly and leave the cheesecake to cool inside for 2 hrs until completely cool. Remove from the oven and chill overnight.

Carefully remove the cold cheesecake from the tin and transfer to a cake stand or serving plate. Whip the cream to soft peaks using an electric whisk, and spoon in big dollops over the cheesecake. Dust with a little cinnamon or pumpkin spice, sprinkle over the chopped pecans and drizzle with the caramel sauce before serving.

Pumpkin Fudge from Delish.com is autumn in a bite.

Pumpkin Fudge

c. white chocolate chips

sweetened condensed milk

pumpkin spice,

pure vanilla extract

kosher salt

never set even in the freezer after 2 days.  Did the recipe writer follow the measurements given?

Similar recipe with ratio of Eagle brand sweetened condensed milk to chips works for our normal Fudge recipe.  This one with the addition of pumpkin puree thins it out far too much.  Just left a sticky mess if left in the freezer and runny mess if left in the fridge.

Agreed. Did not set at all. What a disappointment

How much sweetened condensed milk? 1/2 oz? 1/2 of a 14 oz can? 1/2 oz out of a 14 oz can?  LMAO! Doubtful I will even attempt this. Who writes this stuff?

Choose eating apples if you want the sliced rings to stay intact in the slow cooker. Make as a low-fat yet tasty pudding, or lazy weekend breakfast dish

Slow cooker spiced apples with barley

barley

eating apples

orange

tbsp natural yogurt

Heat the slow cooker if necessary. Put the barley and 750ml boiling water into the slow cooker. Peel and core the apples so you have a hole the size of a pound coin in each one. Cut each apple in half.

Stand the apples skin side down on the barley. Mix the cinnamon, nutmeg and orange zest, and sprinkle them over the apples.

Cook on Low for 2 hours. Serve with natural yogurt.

In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Add the yogurt and pulse until the dough begins to form. Remove from the food processor and shape it into a disc. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

With the rack in the lowest position, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough. Line into a 9-inch (23 cm) pie plate. Trim the excess dough to ½ inch (1 cm) from the edge of the pie plate. Fold the edge of the dough over to form a double crust. Scallop the edge. Set aside.

Crust

In a bowl, combine the cornstarch and spices. Whisk in the eggs. Whisk in the pumpkin purée and sweetened condensed milk. Stir until smooth, then pour into the pie crust.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the filling is set in the centre. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

In a bowl, whip the heavy cream with the sugar until stiff peaks form. Serve the pie with a dollop of whipped cream or using a pastry bag fitted with a star tip, pipe the whipped cream along the outer edge of the pie.

Measuring Butter

Plum Pie with a hint of cinnamon and a golden pastry made from scratch, a delicious Autumn dessert. The plums are soft, but they still have a nice bite to them, and the brown sugar and cinnamon add a lovely dark colour. 

Plum Pie

flour

eggs (+1 for brushing the crust)

g sugar

ml milk

100 ml vegetable oil

tsp baking powder

tsp vanilla extract

450 g plums ((1 lb))

To make the filling, wash, pit and chop the plums.

Add them to a bowl together with the brown sugar and cinnamon.

Mix well to coat the plums well.

To make the crust, use a hand mixer to beat the eggs with a pinch of salt.

Add the sugar, and continue to mix until you get a pale colour and smooth texture.

Pour in the milk and oil together with the vanilla extract, then gradually add the sifted flour and use your hands to knead until you get a smooth dough that does not stick the hands.

Cut the dough in half.

Roll the first half in a circle, and arrange it over the bottom of a pie tin.

Fill it with the plums.

The second half of the dough will be rolled and cut into strips, and arrange in a lattice shape over the top of the pie, cutting the excess dough from the edges.

Beat the remaining egg well, and brush the top of the pie with it.

Bake in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit) for 20-25 minutes or until golden.

Here's a simple recipe using a cake mix and a few pantry ingredients. You don't want to miss the most delicious, fluffy cinnamon frosting. Enjoy1
