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 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the baking dish: Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter a 12-inch cast iron skillet or a medium casserole dish thoroughly to prevent sticking and set aside.
- Mix pumpkin filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla extract until fully blended. Whisk in the heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and consistent. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared skillet or baking dish.
- Prepare streusel topping: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the melted butter and stir with a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly. For a finer texture, you may use a hand mixer to beat the mixture until crumbly.
- Assemble and bake: Evenly spread the cinnamon streusel topping over the pumpkin pie layer in the skillet. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the pumpkin filling is set and the streusel topping is golden brown. If the topping browns too quickly, lightly cover it with foil to prevent over-browning.
- Cool and serve: Allow the pumpkin crisp to cool for 10 minutes so the filling can firm up slightly. Serve warm, optionally topped with ice cream or whipped cream. Cinnamon ice cream is a recommended pairing for enhanced flavor.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 20 seconds until warmed through, or enjoy cold.
- Baking Dish: If you don’t have a 12-inch cast iron skillet, a large round casserole dish or a 9×9 baking dish works well. For gifting, an aluminum foil tin is also suitable.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the pumpkin layer as directed, then cover and refrigerate it. Store the streusel topping separately in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 48 hours. When ready to bake, allow the ingredients to come to room temperature while preheating the oven, then sprinkle the topping and bake as usual.
