❓ FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes. This keeps well in the refrigerator overnight, making prep easy for Thanksgiving or busy fall desserts.

Can I use canned pumpkin instead of pumpkin pie filling?

Not as written. Canned pumpkin is not sweetened or spiced. Use pumpkin pie filling to balance the apple layer.

Can I double this Pumpkin Pie Apple Crisp recipe?

Yes. Make it in a 9×13-inch pan for larger gatherings, especially if you are planning fall dessert recipes for a crowd.

Topping Layer:

  • ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup oats

  • Return the pie to the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes until the topping is golden and the apples are soft.
  • Cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

🥡 STORAGE

  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 4 days.
  • Keep the pie in the pie plate for easy storage.

♨️ REHEATING

  • Microwave individual slices until warmed through.
  • Warm slices in a 300° oven for 8-10 minutes.
  • Reheat in an air fryer at 300° for 3-4 minutes.

❄️ FREEZING

  • Freeze tightly wrapped slices for up to 2 months.
  • Thaw slices in the refrigerator before reheating.

💡 TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

  • Use firm apples so the apple layer does not get mushy.
  • Let the pumpkin layer cool for the full 10 minutes so it sets enough to add apples.
  • Add foil around the edges of the crust to prevent it from browning too quickly.

🍳 ALTERNATE COOKING METHODS

  • Bake in a toaster oven at the same temperature if using a smaller pie plate.
  • Make individual mini pies using small tart pans and reduce the bake time.

♻️ LEFTOVERS

  • Enjoy leftovers warm for breakfast with yogurt.
  • Serve cold with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

📝 NOTES

  • You can use homemade pie crust, a frozen pie crust, or refrigerated pie dough.
  • Dark brown sugar gives a deeper caramel flavor in the crumble.

    TWo of my Autumn favorite flavores, together. I’m definitely going to try this with either cool-whip and / or a good vanilla bean ice cream.
