Ingredients

Scale

Pumpkin Filling

  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream

Cinnamon Streusel Topping

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare baking dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 12-inch cast iron skillet or a medium casserole dish to prevent sticking and set it aside.
  2. Make the pumpkin filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla extract until well combined. Then whisk in the heavy cream until the mixture is smooth. Pour this pumpkin mixture evenly into the prepared skillet.
  3. Prepare the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir with a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly. If needed, you can use a hand mixer to achieve a crumbly texture. Spread this cinnamon streusel topping evenly over the pumpkin filling.
  4. Bake the crisp: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the pumpkin filling is set and the topping is golden brown. If the crumb topping browns too quickly, lightly cover the top with aluminum foil to prevent further browning.
  5. Cool and serve: Remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes, allowing the filling to firm up slightly. Serve warm, topped with your choice of ice cream or whipped cream. Cinnamon ice cream pairs especially well for a delicious flavor combination.

Notes

  • Use a cast iron skillet for even baking and rustic presentation, but a casserole dish works well too.
  • If you prefer a less sweet topping, reduce the sugar in the streusel to 1 cup.
  • Cover the crisp loosely with foil if the topping browns too fast during baking.
  • Serve with cinnamon or vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added richness.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated before serving.
