Here is our 'BETTER THAN PUMPKIN' Pie Filling recipe from yesterdays Pie Dough 101 Workshops for those that missed them. I ate two pieces for breakfast this morning, because ya know, vegetables! We have plenty of our very popular Ready To Use pie dough available in our freezer section. Get it this weekend, while we still have it.
