This pumpkin crisp is the elevated version of pumpkin pie. It has a creamy pumpkin filling with an incredibly delicious crisp topping. Made with oats and pecans that are toasted in brown butter, this crisp is so flavorful and adds the perfect amount of sweet and crunchy texture. <\/p>\n

How to Make the BEST Pumpkin Crisp<\/h2>\n

I love pumpkin pie, but I love this pumpkin crisp even more. The pumpkin filling is so smooth and mixed with the perfect amount of warm spices while the topping is loaded with flavor.<\/p>\n

What makes it SO special is the fact that the topping starts with brown butter.<\/p>\n

Butter is browned in the same skillet the crisp is baked in, so the leftover bits naturally grease the pan for us!<\/p>\n

Once browned, oats and pecans are added. They turn warm and toasty and absorb so much of that delicious brown butter flavor.<\/p>\n

After the oats and pecans turn fragrant, the mix is added to a bowl with chilled butter which helps cool everything down. It\u2019s mixed with brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt to help balance out the flavors.<\/p>\n

The crisp is then chilled in order to create a crumbly texture.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, the pumpkin crisp filling is mixed together. Not only is the crisp delicious, but the filling is made extra special as well. <\/p>\n

Pumpkin is mixed with cream cheese to create a rich texture. A blend of spices and a hint of maple syrup help boost the flavor while heavy creamy adds yet another layer of richess.<\/p>\n

Baking the two together leads to the perfect balance of creamy and crunchy with so many cozy and warm flavors.<\/p>\n

Tips for Baking Pumpkin Crisp<\/h2>\n

The beauty of pumpkin crisp is that it\u2019s insanely delicious but incredibly easy to make. It\u2019s difficult to mess up, but here are a few tips to ensure it turns out perfect:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Brown Butter<\/strong> \u2013 This step is crucial as it adds so much flavor to this crisp. The trick is to add the oats and pecans RIGHT when the butter starts to brown. Since the oats and pecans are toasted for 5 minutes, it\u2019s important not to take the butter too far. Otherwise, the brown butter can burn. *CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HOW TO BROWN BUTTER*<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Flour<\/strong> \u2013 When measuring the flour, I always suggest using a scale for accuracy. Otherwise, spoon the flour into a measuring cup and level it off for light and fluffy cups.<\/li>\n
  3. Cream Cheese<\/strong> \u2013 Use room temperature cream cheese to achieve a smooth pumpkin filling. I also suggest using Philadelphia as it has the best texture.<\/li>\n
  4. Pumpkin<\/strong> \u2013 Pumpkin puree can vary in flavor and moisture depending on the brand. I always use Libby\u2019s!<\/li>\n
  5. Baking<\/strong> \u2013 The crisp is done when the top is golden and the very center has a slight jiggle. If you notice it crisp is browning too much, lay a sheet of foil over the crisp and continue to bake.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Pumpkin Crisp FAQs<\/h2>\n
    \n
    Can pumpkin crisp be made gluten free?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

    Yes! Swap the flour with an all purpose gluten free baking flour and make sure to use certified gluten free oats.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

    Can I use a different kind of nut in the crisp topping?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

    If pecans aren\u2019t your thing, walnuts are another great option. Otherwise, you can omit the nuts altogether and sub in more oats.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

    Can I use milk instead of heavy cream?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

    Heavy cream provides the best flavor and texture, but milk can also be used. I suggest swapping the 3\/4 cup of heavy cream with 2\/3 cup of milk. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

    Can the crisp be baked in a different dish?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

    This recipe will also work in a 9\u00d79 baking pan or anything of similar size. It can also be baked in a 9\u00d713 dish, but just know that the crisp won\u2019t be as deep.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

    What is the best way to serve pumpkin crisp?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

    This dish is best served slightly warm or at room temperature with a scoop of ice cream! But it\u2019s important to let it cool for an hour before serving in order for the filling to set. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

    How do you store pumpkin crisp?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

    The pan can be covered and stored in the refrigerator. Alternatively, the crisp can be scooped out and stored in an air tight container. It will keep for about 4 days.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
