Instructions
- Step 1:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-inch deep-dish pie plate, a 9x9-inch pan with 3-inch sides, or a 9x13-inch pan with nonstick baking spray.
- Step 2:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, ½ teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice until smooth. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Step 3:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, flour, ½ teaspoon salt, ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.
- Step 4:
- Pour in the melted butter and mix until large, moist crumbs form. Use your hands or a pastry cutter if needed to achieve a crumbly texture.
- Step 5:
- Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the pumpkin mixture.
- Step 6:
- Bake for 45–55 minutes, until the top is deep golden brown, the edges are puffed, and the center is set (it should not jiggle).
- Step 7:
- Remove from the oven and cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Step 8:
- Serve warm or at room temperature, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
