Autumn and rustic dessert recipes

Two distinct dessert recipes are featured, focusing on seasonal and rustic flavors.

A no-bake pumpkin cheesecake is presented as a simple three-step autumn dessert. The recipe involves mixing cream cheese, pumpkin filling, pumpkin spice instant pudding, and milk to create a smooth base. This mixture is topped with a layer of crushed graham crackers mixed with melted salted butter and finished with a caramel sauce. The dessert requires at least eight hours of refrigeration.

A Bavarian crumble offers a rustic alternative using a dough base topped with plums. The dough is prepared with flour, warm milk, yeast, sugar, melted butter, an egg, and vanilla sugar. The plum filling is seasoned with sugar and cinnamon, then covered with a crumble topping made from flour, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and cold cubed butter. The dish is baked for 35 to 40 minutes until golden.
