Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Crust and Crumble:
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • For the Pumpkin Filling:
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust and Crumble: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Press about 2/3 of the crumb mixture into the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
  5. Prepare the Pumpkin Filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, heavy cream, egg, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until smooth.
  6. Pour the pumpkin filling over the crust.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the pumpkin filling.
  8. Bake: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crumble topping is golden brown.
  9. Let cool completely in the pan before lifting out using the parchment paper overhang and cutting into bars.

Notes

Serve these bars chilled or at room temperature. A dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon adds a lovely touch!
