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.
