    This light and perfectly sweetened Pumpkin Fruit Dip is the quintessential Fall party appetizer or after school snack.

    This recipe is especially good as a Thanksgiving appetizer. You can also wow the kids by making Thanksgiving Turkey Pretzel Treats.

    The first time I had fruit dip, not counting peanut butter out of the jar, was when my sister-in-law brought some over to enjoy before Thanksgiving dinner.  I was like a drug addict in a dark alley, sneaking around, stealing bites when no one was looking.  I was addicted instantly.  Before you know it, that marvelous fruit dip was nearly gone before the second round of appetizers were even brought out.  Hey - its fruit, right?  Totally healthy!

    Although the fruit dip she brought over was delicious, it wasn't really Fall inspired.  How do you make a Fall inspired dish?  Well you mix in pumpkin and all the right spices, of course.  Did I find myself addicted once more?  Yes.  Am I eating one more apple than I would have otherwise?  Yes.  See?  It all evens out.

    The next time you're not sure what to bring as an appetizer for Thanksgiving or a Fall get together, don't hesitate to make this pumpkin fruit dip.  Its a cinch to mix up and you will turn your friends and family into addicts too.  My foodie-in-training kids and I fight over the sliced apples after school when I set this dip out.  Its that good.

      This is delicious and perfect for the fall! I love how easy it is to make. I added graham crackers to my fruit spread, and it was a great addition for the dip.
