Can I make this dessert ahead of time?

Absolutely! Bake it 1-2 days before Thanksgiving - the flavors actually get better as they sit. Just store covered at room temperature. I often make mine on Wednesday while prepping other dishes. The house smells amazing!

How do I freeze leftovers?

Wrap cooled slices tightly in plastic, then foil. They'll keep beautifully for 2 months! Thaw overnight in the fridge, then warm slightly before serving. My kids love grabbing single slices from the freezer for quick treats all season long.

Can I double this recipe?

Yes! Use a 9x13 pan and add 5-10 minutes baking time. The edges might brown faster, so tent with foil if needed. This doubled batch disappears every time I take it to potlucks - people always ask for the recipe!

Why did mine turn out dry?

You probably overbaked it - ovens vary, so start checking at 25 minutes. Also, measure flour correctly by spooning into cups (not scooping!). Too much flour = dry dessert. Next time, pull it out when the center just barely jiggles.
