What's Cooking with Jean
Friday, October 13, 2006 Pumpkin Crisp

My dear friend, Caroline Motley, shared this recipe. I made it for a table full of boys who said it was amazing (and finished it the next morning for breakfast!) and then my friend and neighbor, Greg Justice, (who didn't even own cinnamon!) made it for friends who said, "This is the best pumpkin dessert ever!"

It's a quick and easy dessert to keep ingredients on hand...you can bake it while you're eating dinner!


1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (18.25-ounce) package butter-flavored yellow cake mix
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup butter, melted (i used only a stick and 1/2 of butter and it was great)

Stir together first 5 ingredients. Pour into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle cake mix evenly over pumpkin mixture; sprinkle evenly with pecans. Drizzle butter evenly over pecans.

Bake at 350° for 1 hour to 1 hour and 5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven, and let stand 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Sprinkle with nutmeg, if desired.
