There were two reasons why I wasn't going to sit out TWD this week:
#1 - It's pumpkin pie. I think we all know that I love pumpkin and I think pumpkin pie is my all time favorite pumpkin dessert. Well... maybe there is a tie between pumpkin pie and pumpkin roll!
#2- I actually know the host for this week in real life. :) Janell and I met in Germany when both of our husbands were stationed there so I knew that I wouldn't be missing her hosting week!
This pie is different than the traditional pumpkin pie since it has the addition of caramel. I used to be afraid of caramel, but I am pretty sure I have conquered it and I no longer wince at the thought of a recipe with caramel!
The caramel adds a nice depth to the pumpkin filling and it was a very, very good pie! Oh, and if you are wondering about the odd shaped slice above it is because I quartered the recipe and was using my mini-pie tins for a tart and had to use an oval dish for the pie. :)
Thanks to Janell for hosting this week! The recipe can be found at her blog or on page 322 of BFMHTY.

How cool that you two know each other!
I too love all things pumpkin - I can't wait to make this!
It was a delicious pie. I love the small version you made.
that thick layer of cream looks splendid.
I need this, wine & the remote for a nice night at home!
Love this! Sounds really tasty!
That looks so yum!! And yay for Janell's week to pick!!! Wish I could help you try it out. I guess I'll have to try it myself along with the 500 recipes from your blog I want to try! :)
I'm so glad you liked it! By the way, I tried the cocoa version of your Pumpkin Latte the other day--LOVED IT. I'm so glad you shared the recipe.
Thanks for baking along with me!
All of that whipped cream looks so decadent!
Um, I knew you liked scones but didn't realize you loved pumpkin as much. :)

This pie WAS great. Love the caramelly taste. I like how yours looks using that other tin and layered with whipped cream on top.
I wasn't satisfied with how mine turned out but I think I'd be happy if I could have a slice of your caramel pumpkin pie! And how cool that you actually know Janell!
