Ingredients
1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
0.5 cup granulated sugar
0.25 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
0.5 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1.5 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.75 cup all-purpose flour
0.75 cup old-fashioned oats
0.5 cup brown sugar
0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, sugars, eggs, heavy cream, vanilla, and spices until smooth. Pour into the prepared dish.
3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until crumbly. Stir in nuts if using.
4. Evenly sprinkle the crisp topping over the pumpkin filling.
5. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is just slightly jiggly.
6. Let it cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Use cold butter in the topping to ensure a crisp, crumbly texture.
Let the crisp cool slightly before serving to help it set and slice better.
Add nuts or crushed cookies to the topping for more texture and flavor.
