An early recipe that went over well with the girls at the Town Hall: 

Great Pumpkin Dessert

• 1 can (15 ounces) solid pack pumpkin.
• 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk.
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1 package (18-1/4 ounces) yellow cake mix
• 3/4 cup butter or margarine, melted 1-1/2 cups chopped walnuts
• Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream

In a mixing bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan. Sprinkle with dry cake mix and drizzle with butter. Top with walnuts. Bake at 350 degrees, for 1 hour or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream. Yield: 12-16 servings.

In Fountain Valley, California, Linda Guyot relies on canned pumpkin and a yellow cake mix to fix this effortless alternative to pumpkin pie. 'It's a tried and true dessert that always elicits compliments and requests for the recipe.'
