What is Pumpkin Pie Crisp?
A crisp is a dessert with a topping made of oats, flour, butter, sugar and sometimes nuts. The topping completely covers the filling layer and is baked in the oven creating a delicious crisp topping. For our pumpkin pie crisp, the pumpkin filling is made of pumpkin puree, condensed milk, eggs, and spices creating a creamy pumpkin pie filling.

Pumpkin Pie Crisp Ingredients

- Eggs – gives the pumpkin layer a more custard-like texture so it’s rich and creamy.
- Pumpkin pie spice – adds a bit of warmth and spice to really enhance the flavor of the pumpkin.
- Vanilla – enhances the sweetness of the sweetened condensed milk and the warmth of the pumpkin pie spice.
- Old fashioned oats – I love oats in my crisps – old fashioned or quick cooking will work in this recipe!

- Brown sugar – sweetens our crumble layer.
- Salt – helps balance out all of the sweetness.
- Cinnamon – brings a bit of warmth and flavor that pairs well with brown sugar and pecans.
- Butter – helps our crisp become golden brown – it also adds delicious richness and flavor.

First, we need to make the pumpkin layer. In a large bowl, whisk together all of the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, pie spice, and vanilla. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and set aside while you make the crisp layer.
To make the crisp layer, whisk together the oats, flour, pecans, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Add the melted butter and stir until the texture resembles wet sand. Sprinkle the crisp over the pumpkin layer, making sure to spread it out evenly and bake! The crisp should be fully set and only jiggle slightly in the center when shaken.
