  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream

Streusel Topping

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter a 12-inch cast iron skillet or a medium casserole dish thoroughly and set it aside to be ready for the batter.
  2. Make pumpkin filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and uniform. Pour this pumpkin filling into the prepared skillet.
  3. Prepare streusel topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the melted butter and mix with a fork or a hand mixer until the mixture becomes crumbly. This will form the cinnamon streusel topping.
  4. Assemble and bake: Evenly spread the streusel topping over the pumpkin filling to cover it completely. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the topping turns a golden brown. If the topping browns too quickly, tent lightly with foil to prevent burning.
  5. Cool and serve: Let the crisp cool in the skillet for about 10 minutes so the filling firms up slightly. Serve warm, ideally topped with ice cream or whipped cream – cinnamon ice cream pairs particularly well for an enhanced fall flavor experience.

Notes

  • If the streusel topping begins to brown too fast, cover loosely with foil to prevent burning.
  • This dessert is best served warm and can be complemented with cinnamon ice cream or whipped cream for extra richness.
  • You can prepare the filling and topping ahead of time and refrigerate before baking for convenience.
  • A cast iron skillet is recommended for even baking and rustic presentation, but a medium casserole dish works as well.
  • Use fresh pumpkin pie spice or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves for authentic autumn flavors.
