Pumpkin Crisp With Pecan Crumble Topping

I have to say I thought I was about done with making pumpkin desserts after sharing Soft Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies and No-Bake Pumpkin Cream Pie and a few other . However then I saw this crisp made in a cast iron skillet. I remembered  how much I loved the Easy Homemade Blackberry Cobbler that I had made in one . So I gave it a try. It has a crumbly pecan and brown sugar topping and oh my it is great.

CAN I MAKE THIS AHEAD?

You can definitely prep this Pumpkin Pie Crisp ahead, but I recommenced baking it fresh when you are ready to serve it.

To prep this ahead, I follow all directions until the baking step. Then, instead of putting it into the oven, I cover it with saran wrap or foil and pop it into the fridge.

Then, when I am ready to bake it, I take it out of the fridge and set it on the counter while pre-heating the oven and bake it as directed in the recipe!

How to Serve :

This crisp is best served warm, I love it with a scoop of Ice Cream

Do I Have to Use Cast Iron Skillet ?

No you can use a baking dish if you prefer . I love cooking in cast iron.
