Ingredients
Scale
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
Cinnamon 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
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 12-inch cast iron skillet or a medium casserole dish to prevent sticking and set it aside.
- Make Pumpkin Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla extract until well combined. Then, whisk in the heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and even. Pour this pumpkin filling into the prepared skillet or casserole dish.
- Prepare Streusel Topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the melted butter and stir with a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly. You can also use a hand mixer to beat the mixture until crumbs form. Evenly spread this cinnamon streusel topping over the pumpkin filling.
- Bake and Monitor: Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes until the pumpkin filling is set and the streusel topping turns golden brown. If the topping begins to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with foil to prevent further browning.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the crisp cool for about 10 minutes to allow the filling to firm up slightly. Serve warm, topped with your choice of ice cream or whipped cream. Cinnamon ice cream is a particularly delightful pairing.
Notes
- Use a cast iron skillet or sturdy casserole dish to ensure even baking.
- If the topping browns too fast, don’t hesitate to tent with foil to prevent burning.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream with canned coconut milk and butter with a plant-based alternative.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently before serving.
- Pumpkin pie spice can be made at home by combining cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice.
