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 ½ 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 Pie Layer: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla extract. Whisk in the heavy cream until the mixture is smooth. Pour this pumpkin mixture into the prepared skillet or casserole dish.
- Make Cinnamon Streusel: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the melted butter and mix with a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly. You may also use a hand mixer to beat it until crumbly if preferred.
- Assemble and Bake: Evenly spread the cinnamon streusel topping over the pumpkin pie mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes until the filling is set and the streusel topping is golden brown. If the topping browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil to prevent over-browning.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pumpkin crisp to cool for 10 minutes to let the filling firm up slightly. Serve warm, optionally topped with ice cream or whipped cream. A great suggestion is cinnamon ice cream for an extra festive flavor.
Notes
- Use a cast iron skillet or a medium casserole dish for best baking results.
- If the streusel topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil during baking.
- For extra flavor, serve with cinnamon ice cream or whipped cream.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving to ensure the filling firms up.
