Ingredients

  • 2 15 oz cans pumpkin puree
  • 2 cups heavy cream or half and half
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Crumble Topping:
  • 1 cup quick cooking or old fashioned oats (not instant)
  • 1 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup cold salted butter cubed
  • vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter bottom and sides of a 13x9-inch baking dish. Set aside.
  • Pumpkin Filling: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together pumpkin, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, pumpkin pie spice, salt, eggs and vanilla. Beat for 1-2 minutes just until fully combined. Pour evenly into the prepared dish.
  • Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, blend together oats, brown sugar and flour. Cut butter into mixture using 2 knives, a pastry blender or a mixer on low speed, until it resembles the size of peas.
  • Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the pumpkin layer.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes until set. The center should show slight movement when gently shaken.
  • Let stand for 20-30 minutes then serve warm, topped with ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Canned Pumpkin - I utilize canned pumpkin for this recipe, but you can make your own pumpkin puree, if you're feeling resourceful.
  • Nuts - If you'd like to add 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts to the crumb topping, you can without any other adjustments.
  • Oats - You can use either quick cooking or old fashioned oats for the topping, I don't recommend using instant oats.
  • Flour - You could adapt the topping using almond flour, wheat flour or a gluten free flour.
  • Spices - For the most well-rounded flavor, pumpkin pie spice is the best to use for the filling. It's abundant in the fall, and the combination of spice is simply delicious. It's a combination of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and allspice along with a touch of cloves.
  • Stand Time - Allow a few minutes of stand time for the filling to cool slightly and set before cutting. 
  • Serving Options - Enjoy this crumble as is, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
