Pumpkin Square Recipe

Hello Friends!  Fall is finally starting to arrive here, and we are enjoying every cool day we get :)  Since it is starting to get cold, we got inspired to bake something pumpkin-ey.  So today, I am going to share the recipe we made, and I'm sure you'll love it! They are called pumpkin squares, and they taste to amazing.  It makes me want to sit, down with cuppa' tea and read a book :)  Anyway, below is the recipe, hope you enjoy!

1 pkg yellow cake mix (reserve 1 cup for topping)

½ cup (one stick) melted butter

1 egg

-Combine the above and press into a 9” x 13” pan, with only the bottom greased

1 can seasoned pumpkin

2 eggs

2/3 cup milk

(you will need to add sugar if you use the un-seasoned pumpkin.  In that case, follow the directions on the can for the amount of spices and sugar, but NOT for the eggs or milk)

-Combine and pour over cake mixture in pan

1 cup reserved cake mix

1 tsp cinnamon

¼ cup (half a stick) butter

¼ cup sugar

-Combine final ingredients and sprinkle over top

-Bake at 350 F for 45-50 min (I usually bake for an hour), or until knife inserted into center comes out clean.

Let cool completely and cut into squares.

As you can see, the bottom layer is a yellow-cake, the middle is a seasoned pumpkin mixture, and it's sprinkled with a crumb topping :)
