Pumpkin Cheesecake with Gingersnap Crust submitted by Karen Johnson
Description
Karen made this cheesecake on a whim one night when we had friends over to watch the Sox - Yankees Series this past fall. Somehow I lucked out and was able to eat something like 4 pieces over the next couple days because they were under the impression that there wasn't enough (or something!) because it was a-m-a-z-i-n-g.
