Maple pumpkin crisp is the ultimate dessert for pumpkin lovers! A delicious oat crisp topping sandwiches a pumpkin center for one of the best pumpkin desserts you’ll ever try!
Mix oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, butter, and vanilla in a large bowl until well combined.
Divide topping in half. Place half the mixture in the bottom of a cast iron skillet, covering the bottom.
In a large bowl, beat eggs lightly until they're a light yellow color.
Add sugar, pumpkin, heavy cream, cinnamon, maple flavoring, and maple syrup to the eggs. Beat until well blended.
Pour filling into skillet over crust.
Top filling with remaining half of the topping.
Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Turn down the heat to 350 degrees and continue baking for another 20-25 minutes or until the pumpkin crisp no longer jiggles when you move the pan.
Either serve warm or let the pumpkin crisp cool and serve cool with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Substitute maple flavoring with an additional tablespoon of real maple syrup if you don’t have maple flavoring.Use a cast iron skillet that’s at least 10 inches. Anything smaller and you’ll have pumpkin running over the edges of the skillet.Don’t wait for the topping to brown before removing from the oven. The topping doesn’t really brown in this recipe, it just cooks together. If the center is no longer jiggly, the pumpkin crisp is done.Serve topped with ice cream, whipped cream, maple syrup, chocolate syrup, or really anything you’d serve with pumpkin!
