Pumpkin Gingersnap Pie

Pumpkin Gingersnap Pie

The great pumpkin (pie) has come at last. A crust of crushed walnuts and gingersnap cookies makes the perfect counterpoint to a smooth and spicy filling drizzled with cranberry glaze and sugared cranberries.

Continue this 'normal with a twist' combination with café correcto—a classic Italian duo of coffee or espresso with a bitter digestif.
Try: Fernet Branca liqueur ($30), Snooth.com (Fernet is known for its medicinal qualities, especially helpful after a heavy holiday meal.)
