Ingredients
Filling
- 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup evaporated milk
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix the Pumpkin Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract until you have a smooth, uniform mixture.
- Pour Filling: Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly to form the base of your crisp.
- Make the Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the old-fashioned rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.
- Incorporate Butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold cubed butter into the oat mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, ensuring a crumbly texture.
- Add the Topping: Evenly sprinkle the crumbly oat mixture over the pumpkin filling, covering it completely.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake uncovered for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the center is set and the topping is a golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pumpkin pie crisp to cool slightly before serving. For an enhanced experience, serve warm topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
- For added texture and flavor, consider mixing in chopped pecans or walnuts into the topping before baking.
