How to Make Pumpkin Pie Crisp

Quick Overview

Pumpkin Pie Crisp is not only simple to make but also bursting with flavor! This dish features a smooth pumpkin filling topped with a delightful oat mixture that creates a flavorful crunch. In about 15 minutes of prep time and just over an hour in the oven, you’ll have a warm, cozy dessert that everyone will love.

Key Ingredients for Pumpkin Pie Crisp

Here’s what you’ll need to gather to create this delicious dessert:

  • 2 cups pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cold butter

Ingredients for Pumpkin Pie Crisp

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the Pumpkin Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  3. Prepare the Topping: In another bowl, mix together the oats, flour, and cold butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend the butter into the dry ingredients until crumbly.
  4. Combine and Layer: Pour the pumpkin filling into a 9×13-inch baking dish evenly. Spread the oat mixture over the pumpkin filling, ensuring that it is evenly distributed.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until the top is golden and the pumpkin filling is set.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the Pumpkin Pie Crisp to cool for a few minutes before serving. It’s best served warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top.

What to Serve Pumpkin Pie Crisp With

To elevate your dessert experience, consider serving your Pumpkin Pie Crisp with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a generous dollop of whipped cream. A sprinkle of toasted nuts could also add a delicious crunch. Pair it with freshly brewed coffee or a warm spiced cider, and you have a perfect fall gathering dessert!

Top Tips for Perfecting Pumpkin Pie Crisp

To make your Pumpkin Pie Crisp an absolute showstopper, keep these tips in mind:

  • Quality Ingredients: Use pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling) for the best flavor.
  • Butter Temperature: Cold butter is essential for achieving that crumbly topping texture, so don’t skip this step!
  • Oven Temperature: Ensure your oven is fully preheated before baking to create an evenly baked crisp.

Storing and Reheating Tips

If you happen to have leftovers (though we doubt it!), you can store your Pumpkin Pie Crisp in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Make sure it’s covered or stored in an airtight container to keep it fresh. If you want to save it for a rainy day, it can be frozen for up to 2 months. To reheat, pop it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until warmed throughout. Just a little reminder: the topping might lose some crunch during freezing and reheating, but it’ll still be yummy!

Now that you’re all geared up for making this delightful Pumpkin Pie Crisp, the only thing left is to gather your ingredients and dive in! Your taste buds will thank you.
