Easy Pumpkin Pecan Crisp

Ingredients:

1 15oz can pumpkin puree
1/2 c. heavy cream
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 box yellow cake mix
1 c. chopped pecans
1 c. melted butter

To Make:

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 13" x 9" pan.

Mix pumpkin, cream, sugar, eggs, cinnamon and salt in large mixing bowl. Stir until smooth.

Pour into greased pan. Sprinkle cake mix evenly over the top of pumpkin mixture, then sprinkle chopped pecans over the cake mix. Drizzle with the melted butter.*

Bake for 50 minutes.

*Yes, this does seem like a lot of butter. This recipe is a combination of a bunch of other similar ones I've seen, and they all used a LOT of butter. I used almost the entire 2 sticks and it's delicious. I can't see any reason to change it :)


Why I Love It:
It's super easy and does not require any special ingredients that I wouldn't normally have on hand. I ate some directly out of the pan when I pulled it out of the oven and burned my mouth but continued to eat it anyway. It's really good!


How I Serve It:
This would be delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or, of course, a pile of whipped cream on top.
