TWD- Caramel Pumpkin Pie

Yes! Pumpkin pie! One of my favorite holiday treats. I'm a little picky about pumpkin pie, though. I don't like it spicy and I don't like it with a lot of crust. This TWD pick is a different take on pumpkin pie- white sugar is cooked until it's dark brown and caramely, and added to the pie batter.
The caramelized sugar definitely adds depth to the pumpkin pie. I'm a traditionalist when it comes to pumpkin pie so I didn't love this. Also, cooked sugar such as this tastes more burned to me than caramely. But yay for pumpkin pie!

    My caramel broke.

    I don't think I did it right...but...I persevered, and am serving it anyway.

    Not a favorite at our house. The caramel was too bitter. Ah well.

    It was a different take on pumpkin pie. I made an excellent crust so I didn't really care what it was filled with.

    I have to say that traditional pumpkin pie is still my favorite, but I like the lighter caramel version of this pie MUCH better than the dark!

    Thanks for baking along with me this week.

    This pie sure has got some interesting reviews. I'm intrigued, just because it's different!
