Ingredients:

For the pumpkin filling:

• 2 cups canned pumpkin (or fresh pumpkin puree)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the topping:

• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as pecans or walnuts)

Directions:

Prepare the pumpkin filling:

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Mix the pumpkin filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
3. Pour into the baking dish: Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.

Prepare the topping:

4. Make the topping: In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is crumbly. If using, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture.
5. Top the pumpkin filling: Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the pumpkin filling in the baking dish.

Bake the crisp:

6. Bake the pumpkin crisp: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the pumpkin filling is set and the topping is golden brown and crisp. The filling should be slightly firm to the touch.
7. Cool slightly: Allow the pumpkin crisp to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Serve:

8. Serve and enjoy: Serve the pumpkin crisp warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired. Enjoy the perfect balance of creamy pumpkin and crunchy topping!

Notes:

• Nuts: If you’re allergic to nuts or prefer not to use them, you can skip the chopped nuts or substitute them with additional oats for more crunch.
• Make-Ahead: The pumpkin filling and topping can be prepared ahead of time and stored separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Assemble and bake when ready to serve.
• Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
