Instructions

Gather all your ingredients. Then, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Beat cream cheese and sugar together until well combined. Add pumpkin and spices. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add salt and beat until creamy.
Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly into the two prepared graham cracker crusts.
