Pumpkin Pie Crisp Dessert (Print Version)
Creamy spiced pumpkin filling with a golden buttery oat crisp topping, perfect for autumn gatherings.
# What You Need:
→ Pumpkin Filling
01 - 1 can (15 oz) pure pumpkin purée
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1 cup evaporated milk
04 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
05 - 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
06 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
07 - 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
08 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
09 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
10 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Crisp Topping
11 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
12 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
13 - 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
14 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
15 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
16 - 1/3 cup chopped pecans (optional)
# Directions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, eggs, evaporated milk, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. Pour the filling into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
03 - In a separate bowl, stir together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, packed brown sugar, and cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the mixture becomes crumbly and coarse. Fold in the chopped pecans if using.
04 - Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the pumpkin filling, covering the entire surface.
05 - Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the pumpkin filling is set and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
06 - Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before serving. Serve warm or chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It gives you every flavor of pumpkin pie without the stress of rolling out a crust.
- The oat topping gets irresistibly crunchy while the pumpkin layer stays silky underneath.
- You probably have most of the spices sitting in your cabinet right now.
02 -
- If you pull it from the oven too early, the center will be soupy, so look for just the faintest wobble when you gently shake the dish.
- Letting it cool fully before covering and refrigerating prevents condensation from making the topping soggy overnight.
03 -
- Toast the pecans in a dry skillet for three minutes before adding them to the topping to deepen their flavor dramatically.
- Let the melted butter cool slightly before mixing it in, because piping hot butter can make the brown sugar dissolve and turn the topping dense instead of crumbly.
