Cheesecake is an all-time favorite.  Give it a fall twist by adding pumpkin.

Ingredients:

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Stir in sugar and then egg mixture. Add pumpkin, maple syrup and spice and mix with a spoon. (no mixer at this point.)  Place mixture in pie crust. Bake in oven for 15 minutes.  Let cool 15 or 20 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
