Ingredients

For the filling:

  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
  • 1 cup evaporated milk (or half-and-half)
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the topping:

  • ¾ cup flour
  • ¾ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (cold)(cubed)
  • ½ cup pecans (or walnuts)(chopped)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven: to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch pan.
  • Mix filling: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, sugars, pumpkin spice, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Pour into the prepared pan.
  • Pre-Bake the Filling: Bake the filling for 15 minutes before adding the crumble topping to keep the topping from sinking to the bottom.
  • Make topping: In another bowl, combine flour, oats, sugars, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the butter until crumbly. Stir in nuts if using
  • Add Crumble Topping and Bake: Sprinkle topping evenly over the pumpkin mixture. Bake uncovered for an additional 30-35 minutes, until topping is golden and the pumpkin filling is set (a little jiggle in the center is okay).
  • Cool & serve: Let cool at least 20 minutes so the pumpkin layer sets fully. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
