HOW TO MAKE PUMPKIN CRISP

To make this amazing fall dessert, you’ll need:

• Can of pumpkin puree
• Sugar
• Eggs
• Pumpkin pie spice
• Salt
• Vanilla
• Heavy Cream
• Flour
• Cinnamon
• Butter

Grab a bowl and mix together the pumpkin, sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, salt and vanilla.

Whisk in the heavy cream until the mixture is smooth.

Now, pour that delicious filling into a buttered cast iron pan. I use a 12″ skillet.

Set the skillet aside for a minute and grab a medium mixing bowl. Whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.

Add the melted butter and stir until crumbly.

Evenly spread streusel over top of filling.

Bake for 40-45 minutes at 375º Fahrenheit or until the filling is set and the topping is golden brown.

HOW SHOULD I TOP PUMPKIN CRISP?

I normally top pumpkin crisp with ice cream, especially when it’s warm. You can also use whipped cream, caramel sauce or even hot fudge!

CAN PUMPKIN CRISP BE PREPPED AHEAD OF TIME?

The answer is, yes! You can prep pumpkin crisp the day before by following three simple steps:

1. Mix up the filling and store it in the fridge in an airtight container.
2. Make the topping ahead of time and store it in a ziplock bag on the counter.
3. Combine the two and bake when you’re ready to enjoy!

HOW DO I STORE PUMPKIN CRISP?

Cover the remaining cooled crisp with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate. You’ll want to enjoy the leftover crisp within two days. You could just eat it cold right out of the container or you can warm it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds!

Remember that once you refrigerate the crisp, the topping will become less crunchy.
