Pumpkin Mascarpone Dip
½ cup mascarpone Italian cream cheese
¼ cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
½ t. – 1 t. pure maple syrup
½ t. ground cinnamon
¼ t. ground ginger
2 apples, cored and sliced (Pink Lady apples are my favorite for snacking)
Mix pumpkin, maple syrup, cinnamon and ginger together in medium bowl (1/2 t. maple syrup is enough for me because pumpkin and mascarpone are both naturally sweet, but if you prefer it a little sweeter adjust to taste). Add mascarpone and blend briefly until fully incorporated. Serve with sliced apples.
