Put a fun twist on the traditional holiday dessert this year! Pumpkin pies are delicious on their own, but if you add just a few ingredients to the classic recipe, you can create an entirely innovative and incredible new dessert. Why not mix in ingredients your family already loves with an Oreo-crusted or Nutella Swirl version? And all of your guests will rave about your crazy-impressive culinary skills if you serve them up a gooey, chili-caramel pie or a white chocolate pie with a crunchy cookie crust.

And it's really as easy as 1 + 2 = 3. Check out the super simple additions that will take your basic pie to gorgeous gourmet dessert.
