Even when last golden days of summer fade away, pumpkin returns to make everything OK again. Welcome the season with these velvety smooth bars with a spicy cookie crust.
I love cheesecake, but rather than go the traditional, predictable Springform pan route, I sometimes like to bake them in a rectangular pan and cut them into squares.
I found this recipe in a magazine years ago. It's the best cheesecake I have ever tasted! The recipe calls for graham cracker crumbs but sometimes I use vanilla wafer crumbs. This recipe is submitted in loving memory of my friend Ronnie.
