Pumpkin Crisp

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

This pumpkin crisp is so easy to make and perfect for any holiday gathering! The crisp topping really is wonderful with ice cream or whipped cream. This dessert is also great for any potluck, the flavors are delicous. We use a yellow cake mix to make the topping and find that it works very well.

SWAPS

We use pumpkin pie spice but you could switch it out for cinnamon. We use heavy cream, we have also made it with evaporated milk and it was great. We use a yellow cake mix but I do think a spice cake would be good too, as somone recommended in the comments.
