Ingredients

Crust and Top Crumble

1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup nuts finely chopped (pecans or walnuts)
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup dark brown sugar firmly packed
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¾ cup unsalted butter cold

Pumpkin filling

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, nuts, sugars, and cinnamon.
Add the cold butter, cut in small cubes, and mix until you obtain a crumbly, sandy texture.
NOTE: RESERVE 1 ¼ cups of the mixture and set it aside.
Pat the remaining mixture on the bottom of an ungreased 13/9-inch baking dish. Set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, beaten eggs, cinnamon, allspice, and salt. Mix well.
Pour the mixture over the crust. Place the pan in the oven and bake it for 15 minutes.
While the pan is in the oven, mix reserved crumbs with one tablespoon of flour.
After 15 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the crumbs over the pumpkin mixture.
Bake for another 20-25 minutes or until set.
Cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

Notes

Why do we bake the bars for 15 minutes before adding the crumble on top?

We bake the bars for 15 minutes before adding the crumbs so the pumpkin mixture has some time to cook and get sturdier to support the crumbs. This way, the crumble we add on top will not sink into the pumpkin mixture.
