Pumpkin Crumb Pie
Description
"Pumpkin Crumb Pie" starts with a custard-style pumpkin filling blended from solid-pack pumpkin, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice for warmth and depth. The batter is divided evenly into two unbaked pie shells. Instead of a traditional top crust, each pie is garnished with a layer made from yellow cake mix, melted butter, and chopped walnuts, providing a sweet, crunchy crumb topping.
The pies bake at 350°F until the filling is set and a knife inserted comes out clean, ensuring a firm but creamy interior. Cooling on a wire rack helps the pies finish setting and makes cutting easier. The filling is smooth and spiced, contrasting with the buttery, nutty crumb topping that adds texture and flavor complexity.
Alternatively, the pumpkin filling can be poured into a greased 9x13 pan without pie crust, then topped with the cake mix, butter, and walnuts, baking for an hour for a more bar-style dessert. This flexibility allows for easier serving and storage. The topping acts as both a crust and a sweet accent, making this pie a variation on traditional pumpkin pie with additional texture and nutty notes from walnuts.
Ingredients
- 2 pie shells unbaked
- 15 ounces pumpkin solid-pack
- 12 ounces evaporated milk
- 3 large egg
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 15.25 ounces yellow cake mix
- 3/4 cup butter melted
- 1-1/2 cups walnuts chopped
Instructions

- Pour half of the batter into one unbaked pie shell, and the other half of the batter into the other pie shell.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix over the pies, splitting it equally.
- Drizzle the melted butter over each of the pies, also dividing the butter equally. Top the pies with the chopped walnuts.
