1st Step: Preheat and Prep

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

3rd Step: Prepare the Pumpkin Filling

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.

Step 4: Make the Crumble Topping

• In a separate bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, oats, and cinnamon.
• Add the cold, cubed butter, using a pastry cutter or fork to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned?
Absolutely! Just be sure to cook and puree your pumpkin until smooth. You’ll need about 1 ¾ cups of fresh pumpkin puree.

Q: Can I make this gluten-free?
Yes, simply substitute a gluten-free flour blend for the all-purpose flour in the crust and crumble topping.

Q: Can I use evaporated milk instead of sweetened condensed milk?
Sweetened condensed milk adds richness and sweetness, so you’d need to adjust the sugar if using evaporated milk. However, for the best flavor and texture, stick with the sweetened condensed milk.
