Quick and Easy Pumpkin Crisp Recipe
Easy recipes that taste amazing are always my go-to. This pumpkin crisp recipe is a perfect example! Preparing this dessert is so fast and easy, it is the perfect fall dessert. The filling ingredients get mixed, and the topping mixture is combined and added on top. It takes just a few minutes of prep time to get it together. The longest wait is when it is baking. I promise it is worth it! The pumpkin filling is creamy and warm, while the topping is a little sugary and crunchy. It’s the best texture contrast.

Ingredients You’ll Need
Like so many baked goods, many of the ingredients needed are pantry staples. Take a look at the recipe card for exact measurements. Luckily, canned pumpkin is available almost all year round in the baking aisle. You can make this whenever you desire!
For the Filling:
