Description
A delicious pumpkin crisp with a shortbread crust and crunchy crumble topping, perfect for fall.
Ingredients
- For the shortbread crust:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1/2 cup cold, cubed butter
- For the pumpkin layer:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 (15 ounce) cans pumpkin puree
- 4 large eggs
- 2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
- For the crumble topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg, whisked
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- For the crust: Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, and ginger in a bowl. Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into an ungreased 13×9 inch pan and set aside.
- For the pumpkin layer: Preheat oven to 425℉. In a small bowl, mix sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. In a large bowl, beat pumpkin with whisked eggs. Add sugar mixture and beat well. Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk, scraping bowl sides. Pour pumpkin mixture over crust.
- Bake at 425℉ for 15 minutes. Lower oven temperature to 350℉ and bake for 30-35 minutes more, until pumpkin layer is mostly set.
- While pumpkin bakes, prepare crumble topping: In a bowl, stir together flour, sugars, cinnamon, baking powder, oats, and pecans. Add vanilla and egg, stirring until crumbly.
- Once pumpkin layer is done, raise oven temperature to 400℉. Sprinkle crumble topping evenly over pumpkin and drizzle with melted butter.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until topping is golden brown and a tester comes out clean.
- Let cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the pumpkin layer is mostly set before adding the crumble topping.
- Cool the crisp completely for best results.
