Ingredients
Scale
Pumpkin Filling
- 1 (15-ounce) can pure pumpkin puree
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup heavy cream
Cinnamon Crumble Topping
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- 12 Tbsp (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Prep & Preheat
- Heat oven to 375°F.
- Grease a 12″ cast-iron skillet (or a 9×9″ baking dish) with butter and set aside.
- Whip Up the Pumpkin Base
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla until fully combined.
- Stir in the heavy cream until the mixture is velvety smooth.
- Pour this pumpkin custard into your prepared skillet.
- Make the Crumble
- In another bowl, combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Pour in the melted butter and mix with a fork (or beat on low with a hand mixer) until coarse crumbs form.
- Scatter the streusel evenly over the pumpkin layer.
- Bake
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the pumpkin layer is set and the top is golden brown.
- If the topping starts to darken too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
- Cool & Serve
- Let the crisp rest for 10 minutes so the filling firms up.
- Spoon warm portions into bowls and top with ice cream or whipped cream. For an extra touch, try cinnamon-swirled ice cream!
Notes
Make-Ahead & Storage Tips
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave for about 20 seconds, or enjoy chilled.
- Advance Prep: Assemble the pumpkin layer and keep it covered in the dish; store the streusel in a sealed container in the fridge (up to 48 hours). When you’re ready, sprinkle on the crumbs and bake as directed.
- Bakeware Swap: No cast iron? Use a 9×9″ baking pan or even foil tins for easy gifting.
