This Pumpkin Crisp recipe delivers all the creamy, spiced flavor of pumpkin pie without the fuss of a traditional crust. It features a smooth pumpkin filling topped with a crunchy, buttery oat crumble, making it the ultimate comfort food dessert for fall gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt until completely smooth. Pour this mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish.
  3. Prepare the topping: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, and brown sugar. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. If using, stir in the chopped pecans.
  4. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the pumpkin filling. Do not press the topping down.
  5. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is mostly set (a slight jiggle in the center is acceptable).
  6. Let the pumpkin crisp cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to firm up.
  7. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the best autumn treat.

Notes

  • For an extra crunchy topping, use quick-cooking oats instead of old-fashioned rolled oats.
  • If you do not have pecans, you can substitute them with an equal amount of walnuts or omit them entirely.
  • This recipe is a great no crust pumpkin pie alternative for easy holiday baking.
