This Pumpkin Crisp is a delightful autumn dessert featuring a smooth, spiced pumpkin filling topped with a buttery cinnamon streusel. Baked until golden and bubbly, it’s perfect served warm with ice cream or whipped cream for a cozy treat.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Pumpkin Filling

  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream

For the Streusel Topping

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 12-inch cast iron skillet or a medium casserole dish to prevent sticking, then set it aside.
  2. Make the Pumpkin Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and uniform. Pour this filling into the prepared skillet or casserole dish.
  3. Prepare the Streusel Topping: In a separate medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir with a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly. If needed, you can use a hand mixer to achieve a crumb texture evenly. Spread the streusel topping evenly over the pumpkin filling.
  4. Bake the Pumpkin Crisp: Place the skillet or dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the pumpkin filling is set and the streusel topping is golden brown. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with foil to prevent over-browning.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the pumpkin crisp to cool for about 10 minutes so that the filling firms up slightly. Serve warm, ideally topped with ice cream or whipped cream. Cinnamon ice cream pairs especially well with this dessert for an enhanced flavor experience.

Notes

  • For an extra moist filling, ensure not to overbake; the center should be just set.
  • You may substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version.
  • This dessert can be made in advance and reheated gently before serving.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Ensure the pumpkin puree is plain pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling) for best results.
