Ingredients
- 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup evaporated milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- Optional: Chopped pecans or walnuts for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, combine pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix well.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time until well combined. Stir in the evaporated milk. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine flour, rolled oats, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk to combine.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender, fork, or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. If desired, stir in chopped nuts.
- Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the pumpkin mixture in the baking dish.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pumpkin filling is set.
- Let the crisp cool slightly before serving. It’s delicious served warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- Ensure your butter is cold for the crispiest topping.
- Adjust the amount of spices to your preference.
- The crisp can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving.
- For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar in the topping.
