📝 Author Note
This dessert was born out of my pumpkin pie cravings during WW, when I wanted something indulgent but low in points. The apples give you that natural sweetness and cozy aroma, while the pumpkin filling makes it taste like a mini crustless pie. My kids love topping theirs with whipped cream — and I don’t mind stealing a bite. 😉
