My mother and grandmother always taught me the importance of traditions and modeled their love of cooking and baking to me though their delicious homemade foods. Thus, I have always loved the traditional holiday of Thanksgiving and its simple meaning of being grateful, and the glorious food associated with it. I truly love all Thanksgiving pies, and never can decide between Mommy's pumpkin and Grandma's caramel apple pie on this annual Thursday. Because of this dilemma, and a desire to not be too indulgent, I had to create a pie with both of their wondrous qualities! Hence, the creation of Grandma and Mommys' Pumpkin Caramel Apple Pie! This pie has the classic, creamy pumpkin filling happily atop of the timeless, caramel apple pie filling. The combination completely satisfies your traditional taste buds with spice, creamy pumpkin, and tart apples, all in one memorable crust. I love Franklin's famous quote, "Necessity is the mother on invention" as it surely has helped many worthy inventions be created, including the yummy pie!
