Pumpkin Dessert Recipes To Sweeten Up Fall (PHOTOS)

This fall favorite is good for more than Jack-O-Lantern carving.

Along with copious amounts of candy, the quest for the perfect costume, and an excuse to finally re-watch your favorite childhood movies, pumpkins are one of the most important parts of the Halloween season.

Though most of us visit the pumpkin patch to make Jack-O-Lanterns or even roasted pumpkin seeds, there is so much more to this fall favorite than might initially meet the eye. In fact, pumpkin desserts are some of the best sweets for the fall season -- from classics like pumpkin pie to the more modern pumpkin crepes, we've put together our favorite pumpkin dessert recipes. We've included three below -- but make sure to scroll down to see all 29 of these perfect fall treats.
