Step-by-Step Instructions

- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pumpkin filling is set.

Top Tips for Perfecting Homemade Pumpkin Pie Crisp
- Substitutions: If you want to make it even healthier, consider using almond flour instead of regular flour. You might also try coconut oil instead of butter.
- Timing: Keep an eye on the topping—if it starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil while it finishes baking.
- Common Mistakes: Make sure you’re combining the ingredients well. Uneven mixing could lead to inconsistent flavors throughout the dish.
Storing and Reheating Tips
Storing: Once your Homemade Pumpkin Pie Crisp is completely cool, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days in an airtight container. If you’d like, double the recipe and freeze half for later!
Reheating: When reheating, microwave individual portions for about 30 seconds or warm it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes. This way, it will keep that delightful crisp topping intact.
