Since I was headed to Maine this weekend and NY next week to see my folks the cupboards are bare so I had to scrounge around for ingredients. This is what I found:

A refrigerator pie crust that was due to expire soon. An opened jar or pumpkin butter that should really get used up before it goes bad too.
I decided that these, along with some pecans, brown sugar and cinnamon, I could say goodbye to fall in grand style by making a Pumpkin Butter Strudel!

I unrolled the pie crust onto some waxed paper on a baking sheet, sprinkled on about 3 Tbs brown sugar and maybe 1 tsp cinnamon, (You weren't really expecting exact measurements here, were you? This is scrounge baking after all!) about a half a cup of pecans, and what was left of the pumpkin butter...maybe a cups worth, give or take.

I rolled this up into a strudel like shape and sprinkled on some more brown sugar, just because I like the sugar crunch on top of my strudel. Baked it at 375 for 40 min.

Check it out! All strudely goodness! It smells amazing and I think it'll be a great dessert tonight after the pulled pork sammiches, vinegar cole slaw and chips that are dinner! Good thing I left they guys with enough dinner food so there is enough for me too!
I'd love to hear about and see more scrounge baking! I know some of you do it too!
