    How to prepare our Pumpkin Dessert

    To make our pumpkin crisp, you’ll want to start by getting your oven preheating to 425 degrees. While that’s preheating, get an 8×8 baking dish greased with something like shortening or cooking spray. After that, we’re going to get our creamy filling ingredients mixed together. To a large mixing bowl, add your canned pumpkin, pie spice, sugar, and eggs.

    Beat those together until consistent. Once consistent, add in your evaporated milk and mix that in as well.

    Once you’ve got those ingredients mixed together, you’re going to transfer them over to your 8×8 baking dish. Once you’ve got that spread evenly through the baking dish, pop it into the oven. You’ll pull it in about 30 minutes- just enough time to get our crisp topping ready! For the topping, add to a mixing bowl some oatmeal, pumpkin pie spice, flour, and brown sugar.

    Mix those ingredients together thoroughly untill well-combined. Once combined, add in several pats of your butter. Using something like a dough blender, mix the butter in with your ingredients until a crumbly crisp topping forms.

    With your crisp topping ready, it’s time to spread it over our pumpkin filling. Once you’ve pulled your filling from the oven, start sprinkling your crumb topping over it. You’re aiming for as even coverage as possible.

    Now that you’ve got your crisp topping on your dessert, you need to send your crisp back into the oven. Set it back in, turn the oven down to 350 degrees, and let it cook for another 20-30 minutes. What you’re looking for is a slight jiggle when you shake your pumpkin crisp. Once you see that jiggle and your crisp topping is a beautiful golden brown, you’re ready to pull it from the oven. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving!

    Can you freeze or refrigerate this crisp?

    • Once you’ve made your crisp, allow it to cool before prepping it for storage in the fridge. Keep it in an air-tight container and it should last for a few days, maybe around 2-3. To warm up, toss in a microwave- shouldn’t take longer than a minute or two!
    • For long-term storage, you should be able to freeze this for a couple of months. Cover cooled crisp with aluminum foil and keep in freezer for 2-3 months. When it comes time to reheat it, I’d warm it back up in the oven- checking every few minutes to see if the inside’s cooked.

    Topping Ideas

    • There’s plenty of things you can sneak into the crisp topping: add some crushed pecans or some graham crackers into your mix.
    • Once it’s out of the oven, you can top your pumpkin crisp with something like vanilla ice cream or some whipped cream.
    • Finish your dessert up by dressing your pumpkin crisp with a drizzle of some chocolate or caramel sauce.
