Ingredients:
Filling:
- 2 cups pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
Crisp Topping:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a medium-sized baking dish.
2️⃣ Prepare the Pumpkin Filling:
In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, butterscotch chips, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Stir until fully blended. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
3️⃣ Make the Crisp Topping:
In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Add the cold butter cubes and cut them into the mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until it forms a crumbly texture.
4️⃣ Assemble and Bake:
Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the pumpkin mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges.
5️⃣ Serve:
Let the crisp cool slightly before serving. For an extra treat, top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
