Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter a 12-inch cast iron skillet or a medium casserole dish. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla extract. Whisk in heavy cream until smooth. Pour into prepared skillet and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add melted butter and stir with a fork until crumbly. Spread cinnamon streusel topping on top of pumpkin pie mixture in an even layer. You can also beat with a hand mixer until crumbly if needed.
- Bake until filling is set and top is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. If the crumb topping happens to brown too quickly, you can lightly cover the top with foil to prevent it from browning any more.
- Let cool for 10 minutes, so the pie filling can firm up. Then serve warm topped with ice cream or whipped cream. My personal favorite combination is to serve this pumpkin crisp with cinnamon ice cream if you can find it!

Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days and reheat in the microwave for about 20 seconds, until warmed through again. You can also enjoy it cold!
Baking Dish: If you do not have a cast iron skillet, you can use any baking dish! I recommend either a large 12-inch round casserole dish or a 9×9 baking dish. If you are giving this away to friends/family, you can also bake it in an aluminum foil tin.
Make ahead: Follow all directions until the step where you pour the streusel topping over the pumpkin pie layer. Instead, cover the pumpkin layer in the pan and refrigerate it. Then, place the streusel topping in an airtight container and refrigerate it as well. You can store them both for up to 48 hours. When ready to bake, take them out of the fridge and set on the counter while heating the oven. Once the oven is warm, sprinkle the streusel on top and bake as directed.
