Cafe's Pecan Pumpkin Pie Recipe Rating 4

About ten years ago, a gal gave me a bar cookie recipe and told me not to be put off by the cake mix in the ingredients. I tried it and liked the taste. The next time, I made it into a pie gussied up with a caramel sauce and whipped cream.—Nila Towler, Baird, Texas
