Ingredients

For the Crust & Crumble:

  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Pumpkin Pie Filling:

  • 3 cups 100% pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice see Note for individual spice amounts*

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375° degrees F. Line a 9x13 light metal rectangular baking pan with foil or parchment, extending the foil or parchment paper over the sides of the pan. Spray the foil or paper with cooking spray; set aside.
  • For the crust: Combine the sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and flour in a large bowl. Add in the cold cubed butter, lightly beaten egg and vanilla extract. Use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles small pebbles and is fully incorporated. Press half of the crust mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan in an even layer.
  • Meanwhile, in another large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice and whisk until smooth and incorporated. Pour the pumpkin layer evenly over the crust and smooth out to the edges. Immediately top with the remaining half of the crumble, sprinkling it evenly over the pumpkin layer to cover.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes or until light golden brown on top and set. The center should not be jiggly. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set before cutting into squares. These can be served cold or at room temperature.

Notes

You can now buy pumpkin pie spice pre-made at the grocery store. But, if you don't have it on hand, you can use this blend of individual spices:
2 & 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon + 1 tsp ground ginger + 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg + 1/4 tsp ground allspice
