Coffee Hour… Make sure you stop by
the clubhouse for our monthly coffee
hour on Wednesday November 13th
starting at 10:30 am. Please RSVP!
Trash Rooms… please make sure that
you’re disposing of your recyclables in
the correctly marked bins and that your
trash is going into the bins and not on
the floor. We have had a few trash
rooms where residents aren’t properly
disposing of their garbage, not only is
this unsightly, but causes a trip hazard
for other people too.
Pick it up!.... Please make sure
that you’re picking up after your
furry friends when they go outside
to use the facilities! Also, please
make sure to avoid littering
throughout the community grounds
– we like to try to keep our
community beautiful for all of our
residents to be able to be proud to
call Larkin Creek their home!
Christmas Gift… We have a
small gift for every apartment this
year and we will be placing it on
your inside door handle.

Ingredients:
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 3/4 cups sugar
Salt
2 pounds cream cheese, at room
temperature
1/4 cup sour cream
1 15-ounce can pure pumpkin
6 large eggs, at room temperature, lightly
beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 cups sweetened whipped cream
1/3 cup toasted pecans, roughly chopped
Directions:
Position rack in the center of the oven, preheat to 325.
Brush a 10-inch spring form pan with some butter. Stir the remaining butter with crumbs,
1/4 cup of sugar and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom
and up the sides of the pan, packing it tightly. Bake15 to 20 minutes. Cool on a rack, then
wrap the outside of the spring form pan with foil and place in a roasting pan.
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese with a mixer until
smooth. Add the remaining 2 1/2 cups sugar & beat until just light, scraping down the sides
of the bowl & beaters as needed. Beat in the sour cream, add the pumpkin, eggs, vanilla, 1
teaspoon salt & the spices. Beat until just combined. Pour into the cooled crust.
Place the roasting pan in the oven (don't pull the rack out) and pour the boiling water into
the roasting pan until it comes about halfway up the side of the pan. Bake until the outside
of the cheesecake sets but the center is still loose, about 1 hour 45 minutes. Turn off the
oven and open the door to let out some heat. Leave the cheesecake in the oven for 1
more hour, carefully remove from the roasting pan and cool on a rack. Run a knife around
the edges, cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight. Bring the cheesecake to
room temperature 30 minutes before serving. Unlock and remove the spring form ring.
To finish, place a dollop of the whipped cream on each slice and sprinkle with the toasted
pecans….Yummy!
