Ingredients
Scale
Pumpkin Pie Layer
- 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup heavy cream
Cinnamon Streusel
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 12-inch cast iron skillet or a medium casserole dish thoroughly to prevent sticking. Set it aside for later use.
- Make Pumpkin Pie Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together canned pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla extract until well blended. Whisk in the heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous. Pour this pumpkin pie mixture into the prepared skillet or casserole dish evenly.
- Prepare Cinnamon Streusel Topping: In a separate medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the melted unsalted butter and use a fork to stir the mixture until it becomes crumbly. If needed, use a hand mixer to achieve the desired crumbly texture. Spread the cinnamon streusel crumble in an even layer over the pumpkin filling in the skillet.
- Bake the Pumpkin Crisp: Place the skillet or casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the pumpkin filling is set and the streusel topping turns golden brown. If the topping browns too quickly, lightly cover the dish with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let the crisp cool for 10 minutes so the filling can firm up slightly. Serve warm, ideally topped with ice cream or whipped cream. For an extra special touch, cinnamon ice cream pairs wonderfully with this dessert.
Notes
- Butter the skillet or casserole dish well to avoid the pumpkin crisp sticking.
- Cover with foil if the streusel top starts to brown too fast during baking.
- Allow cooling for 10 minutes before serving to let filling set.
- Serve warm with whipped cream or your favorite ice cream—cinnamon ice cream is highly recommended.
- You can use a hand mixer to achieve crumbly streusel topping if mixing by fork is difficult.
