Ingredients

Scale

For the Pumpkin Filling

  • 1 can (15 oz) pureed pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk or cream

For the Crisp Topping

  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pumpkin Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine pureed pumpkin, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, salt, vanilla extract, and milk or cream. Stir until smooth and well incorporated to create a spiced pumpkin filling.
  2. Mix the Crisp Topping: In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Cut cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  3. Assemble the Crisp: Spread the pumpkin filling evenly in a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the oat topping generously over the pumpkin layer, ensuring full coverage for an even crunch.
  4. Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake the assembled crisp in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the Pumpkin Pie Crisp to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving so the filling sets slightly for cleaner slices and melding of flavors.

Notes

  • Use cold butter for a flaky, non-greasy topping.
  • Don’t overmix the topping to maintain crunchy texture.
  • Adjust pumpkin pie spices to taste by adding gradually.
  • Always use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Let the crisp rest before serving to thicken the filling.
  • This recipe can be adapted to gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan diets with substitutions.
