Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 can (15 oz) pure pumpkin puree
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Crumble Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Serving
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare the dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix pumpkin filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Pour the filling: Transfer the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to cover the bottom.
- Prepare the crumble topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, and chopped pecans to combine the dry ingredients evenly.
- Add wet ingredients to topping: Pour the melted butter and vanilla extract into the dry mixture, stirring until the mixture becomes crumbly and evenly coated.
- Top the pumpkin layer: Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the pumpkin mixture in the baking dish.
- Bake the pie crumble: Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pumpkin filling is set (no longer jiggly).
- Cool before serving: Let the Pumpkin Pie Crumble cool for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to fully set and flavors to meld.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired, for added indulgence.
Notes
- Make sure to not overbake to keep the pumpkin filling creamy and moist.
- Use fresh spices for the best flavor in your pumpkin pie crumble.
- Letting the dessert cool properly ensures cleaner slices when serving.
- You can substitute pecans with walnuts or omit nuts for nut-free version.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free flour and oats.
