Pumpkin Crisp

I got this recipe over at sweet rebellious Lula & thought it would be perfect for our dessert last Sunday night. Everyone LOVED it & I, who am not the biggest dessert person, have been loving it everyday since for breakfast. I will be making this again & for as many people as I know who dessert, I mean deserve, this! I'm not even a big pecan lover but I would not dream of making this without them.



1 15 oz. can pumpkin
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 package butter-recipe yellow cake mix
1 cup chopped pecans
2 sticks butter, melted (I used 1 1/2 just to cut down a bit, hah)

Stir together first 5 ingredients. Pour into a lightly greased 13x9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle cake mix evenly over pumpkin mixture; sprinkle evenly with pecans. Drizzle butter evenly over pecans.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Watch after 45 minutes, I had to cover it with foil to keep from browning too much. Remove from oven & let stand 20 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream. We used fat free & it did not take away.

IF there are leftovers, refrigerate. Put a slice in the microwave for 20 seconds & you’ll think you just made it.

    Oh my gosh, this sounds divine! And so easy too, it is definitely going to be a fall dessert in my house. Now I just have to come up with my pumpkin martini to go with it!

    Um, YUM! This sounds fabulous! I'm going to try this for Thanksgiving. I make something similiar but super easy. You take cherry pie filling, pour it in the baking dish, mix yellow cake mix with cinammon and sprinkle it over the cherries. Then you slice a few tabs of butter and lay them on top - bake until it starts to brown. Viola!

    You wanted a recipe exchange right? Ha!! My recipe directions aren't as eloquent as yours but Brian thinks I slave over this each time I make it. And I let him think I do. Ha!

    I am not the biggest pumpkin fan either, but, if you love it, well then, I am almost positive I will too : )! I made the Chicken braid last night and everyone was in heaven! I told Gary and Kaishon all about you and your wonderful website and they both want me to cook from it every night! Hope you are having a great day!

    A tasty variation is to substitute Spice Cake Mix in place of the Yellow/Butter Mix. Enjoy!

    Yum! This looks great. It reminds me of a pumpkin squares recipe (sort of like pumpkin pie squares) that I make for Thanksgiving. Wonderful flavors of the season, and I love any kind of crisp. Will have to try it!
