Pumpkin Cobbler

How did it become fall already? It seems like just yesterday I was decorating Easter eggs with my baby girl.  I know their are some that love the hot weather, playing in the ocean, having camp outs, but not me I find comfort in the fall, I love cozying up to a blanket, feeling that crisp chill in the morning, and enjoying that clean air. And I especially love the fall baking.  Warm cinnamon, creamy pumpkin, nutmeg, apples. Mmm it's all so delicious. So I decided after thinking all day as to what I should make to bring that fall feeling to my home, and I decided on a pumpkin cobbler, it has all the makings of an amazing desert, and I know you will enjoy it as much as I did, and hopefully it will bring you that fall feeling like it did me.

Tips & Techniques
You can make this recipe lighter by replacing the butter with fat free spread, and  1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup artificial sweetener for the 1 cup sugar.
