Pumpkin Pecan Pie in a Pan

 One of the last dessert recipes left in my drafts!  Gotta share it before January, and 'lighter choices' arrive! =)

I LOVE this combo of two of my favorite pies all wrapped up in one!

This lovely recipe came from Very Best Baking and we loved it. 

Perfect when you can't decide which of these yummy pies to make.

You can do them both at once!! 

The base is made with flour, oatmeal, brown sugar & butter.
