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 dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Butter a 12-inch cast iron skillet or a medium casserole dish to prevent sticking, and set it aside.
- Make the pumpkin filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Whisk in the heavy cream until the mixture is smooth. Pour this pumpkin filling into the prepared skillet or dish.
- Prepare the cinnamon streusel topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the melted butter and stir with a fork until the mixture forms a crumbly texture. You can also use a hand mixer if needed to achieve a crumbly topping.
- Assemble and bake: Evenly spread the cinnamon streusel topping over the pumpkin filling in the skillet. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until the filling is set and the topping is golden brown. If the topping browns too quickly, lightly cover with foil to prevent over-browning.
- Cool and serve: Let the pumpkin crisp cool for about 10 minutes, allowing the filling to firm up. Serve warm, topped with ice cream or whipped cream, with cinnamon ice cream being a recommended pairing.
Notes
- Use a cast iron skillet for a rustic crisp and even baking, or a casserole dish if preferred.
- If the topping browns too fast, cover with foil to prevent burning.
- Letting the crisp cool slightly helps the filling set properly for neater serving.
- For variation, try adding chopped nuts to the streusel topping for extra crunch.
- Serve with cinnamon or vanilla ice cream to enhance the warm spices.
