Holiday Recipes Even a Beginner Cook Can Make

A crust of crushed walnuts and gingersnap cookies is an unusual way to jazz up classic pumpkin pie, without adding extra work. There's no dough to refrigerate and roll out; instead, you just stir cookie crumbs, walnuts, salt and butter together, press the mixture into a pan and bake for 10 minutes. And rather than top the dessert with whipped cream, you drizzle the pie with a tart, bright-pink cranberry glaze.
