Christine’s (and Janelle’s) Pumpkin Dessert

This festive dump cake is easier than making a pumpkin pie without losing flavor. This unique cake is an easy dessert to make the night ahead for Thanksgiving or any holiday.

While this tempting fall recipe is featured on Cooking with Just Christine, it’s actually her sister wife, Janelle Brown’s recipe. Thankfully Janelle is kind enough to share it with Christine and the world.

For this dump cake, the filling is essentially a basic pumpkin pie filling. But instead of a crust, the cake is topped with a crumble made of a package of yellow cake mix, butter, and pecans. It takes an hour and a half to complete and makes 8-10 servings.

After it’s cooked, it’s served cold with whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg. Christine said this easy and quick dessert is about 80% of the Brown family’s favorite dessert. The full recipe can be found here.

Christine’s Year-Round Thanksgiving Rolls

Of course, Christine’s famous Thanksgiving rolls are at the top of the list of recipes to try for Thanksgiving. Christine says these rolls have been a staple for the Brown family year-round. This versatile recipe can quickly be turned into cinnamon rolls, garlic knots, or sandwich bread.

These buttery rolls take around two hours to make, including the hour of rising time and cook time. Once out of the oven, these soft, golden brown crescents are brushed with more melted butter and are ready to serve. This recipe makes a total of 16 rolls. While this might be an intermediate recipe, it’s worth the time and effort. The full recipe can be found here. Happy cooking!
