The alternative to pumpkin pie! This crumble has a pumpkin pie filling with a pecan, oat, and brown sugar topping. It has such a better texture than regular pumpkin pie because of the topping, with all the feel good flavors of traditional pumpkin pie. Give it a try and don’t forget to leave a review!
What ingredients do I need to make this recipe?
-
Pumpkin purée: Make sure to use 100% pumpkin puree for this recipe!
-
Brown sugar: For the perfect deep, caramely sweetness this dish need!
-
Eggs
-
Milk of choice: Use unsweetened, any milk you choose!
-
Pumpkin spice blend: Make it yourself or buy it at the store. I personally buy it to make things easier. I don’t have a recipe for pumpkin pie spice but there are plenty of recipes out there!
-
Cornstarch: This thickens the filling so it doesn’t fall apart.
-
All-purpose flour
-
Old-fashioned oats
-
Pecans: Chop them up roughly to create the perfect texture!
-
Butter: Salted or unsalted, I’ve made this with both and don’t notice the difference!
-
Cinnamon
-
Vanilla
-
Salt
What kind of milk should I use?
I’ve made it with almond milk and oat milk, but any will do! Just make sure it’s unsweetened so the filling doesn’t get too sweet.
Why am I supposed to let this cool before serving?
This crumble is meant to be served similarly to a pumpkin pie. If you cut into it before it cools, it will fall apart. You’ll need to let it set.
Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned?
For this recipe, you’ll want to stick with canned. I have only made it with canned so I can’t vouch for fresh, but I have heard that pumpkin pie in general should not be made with fresh pumpkin!
