Ingredients

Pumpkin Pie Filling (Fits a 12 inch cast iron skillet!)

29 oz can pumpkin puree.
2 cups sugar.
6 large eggs.
4 tsp pumpkin pie spice.
1 tsp salt.
2 tsp vanilla extract.
1 ½ cups heavy cream.

Cinnamon Streusel Crisp Topping

3 cups sugar.
4 tsp cinnamon.
3 cups melted butter.

Instructions

Making the Pumpkin Pie Filling

Combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, spices, salt, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until smooth.
Pour into a well-greased cast iron skillet or baking dish of choice. You want to create a smooth, even layer that will serve as the base for your crisp. Don't be afraid to use the back of a spoon or spatula to ensure consistent coverage.
Pro Tip: For an extra touch of flavor, consider sprinkling a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg over the pumpkin mixture before adding the crisp topping.

Making the Crisp Streusel Topping

Combine all ingredients until streusel crumbs appear in the texture of the dough.
Using a spoon or your fingers, crumble the topping evenly over the pumpkin layer. Aim for an even distribution, but don't worry if it looks a little rustic – that's part of the charm!
If you find that you have extra crisp topping left over, don't hesitate to pile it on. The more topping, the crunchier and more indulgent your dessert will be.

Baking the Pumpkin Pie Crisp

Preheat your oven to 375°F. This temperature strikes the perfect balance, ensuring that the crisp topping achieves a golden-brown crunch while the pumpkin filling sets beautifully.
As a general guideline, bake your pumpkin pie crisp for 45-55 minutes. However, keep in mind that oven temperatures can vary, so it's essential to keep an eye on it.
The best way to check if your crisp is done is to insert a toothpick or knife into the center. If it comes out clean, with no wet batter clinging to it, your crisp is ready to come out of the oven. Remember, the filling will continue to set as it cools, so don't worry if it appears slightly jiggly in the center.
