Ingredients
Scale
Pumpkin Filling
- 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Cinnamon Streusel Topping
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch square baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Make Pumpkin Filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, evaporated milk, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Fill Baking Dish: Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Prepare Streusel: In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, light brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and chopped pecans. Pour in the melted butter and stir until crumbly clusters form.
- Top Filling: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon streusel mixture over the pumpkin filling without pressing it down, allowing for a crunchy topping.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the pumpkin filling is mostly set with a slight jiggle in the center and the streusel is golden brown.
- Cool: Let the pumpkin pie crisp cool for at least 15 minutes to allow the filling to fully set.
- Serve: Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
Notes
- Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for best results.
- Let the crisp cool properly to ensure the filling sets and slices nicely.
- Chopped pecans can be substituted with walnuts if preferred.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of salt to the streusel topping.
- This dessert pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream.
