Ingredient Notes –
- Pumpkin puree is the base of our pumpkin layer– make sure to use 100% pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling!
- Sweetened condensed milk adds richness and sweetness to the pumpkin layer.
- Eggs help give the pumpkin layer a more custard-like texture so it’s really 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.
- I love oats in my crisps– old fashioned or quick cooking will work in this recipe!
- Flour helps create a crisp crumble topping. I’m using all purpose but whole wheat would work too.
- Pecans add a bit of extra crunch to the crumble topping. Walnuts would be a great substitute!
- Brown sugar sweetens our crumble layer.
- Salt helps balance out all of the sweetness.
- Cinnamon brings a bit of warmth and earthiness that pairs well with brown sugar and pecans.
- Butter helps our crisp become golden brown– it also adds delicious richness and flavor.
