Fall Party Recipes: Pumpklin Cheesecake, Caramel Apples and more

 As I was planning some of the food and decorations for parties  I have coming up this fall, I remembered that my niece Kaitlin had ordered pumpkin cheesecake at our annual "October Girls" birthday party last year at California Pizza Kitchen and raved about it. The October Girls is our little group with October birthdays and my niece's is coming up next week so I decided to recreate Kaitlin's favorite fall dessert for our party. It turned out fantastic and really wasn't very hard. Here's the secret to a fabulous pumpkin cheesecake: ginger snaps! Who knew?
