yum Yield: 20 servings

Crust:
1 box of yellow cake mix (reserve 1 cup)
1/2 cup margarine or butter

1 egg

Filling:
1lb 14oz can spiced pumpkin pie mix (large can)
2/3 cup evaporated or whole milk
2 eggs

Topping:
1 cup reserved cake mix
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar


Grease bottom only of 9 x 13 pan.

Reserve 1 cup of the cake mix.

Mix the rest of the cake mix, 1/2 cup melted margarine and egg together until well-mixed. Press dough into pan.

Mix pumpkin pie mix, 2 eggs, and 2/3 c evaporated milk til smooth. I add a little more pumpkin pie spice to it... I like it more spicy. Pour over unbaked dough crust.

Mix 1 cup reserved cake mix, sugar, cinnamon, and 1/4 cup soft margarine into pea-size chunks and crumble over the top of the unbaked filling.

Bake for 50-55 minutes in 350° oven or until toothpick comes out clean.

Best served chilled with cool whip or vanilla ice cream.
