Healthy Pumpkin Pie Dip Recipe

This pumpkin dip is a holiday favorite! We love pumpkin pie, so we decided to create a creamy dip that tastes just like it. Serve this recipe as an appetizer or dessert because it tastes great dipped with sliced apples, pears or salty whole grain pretzels. It's definitely a crowd pleaser that is easy to make, loaded with vitamin A, low in saturated fat and tastes amazing.
