Skillet Crustless Pumpkin Pie With Streusel Topping

Crustless Pumpkin Pie With Streusel Topping Recipe – this pumpkin pie has all the wonderful flavors you would expect in a traditional pumpkin pie. It’s baked in a skillet without the crust, then topped with a buttery, spiced streusel topping.

My favorite part of any pie will always be the filling. It’s not that I don’t like pie crust, I really do. I especially love graham cracker pie crusts like the one I use when I make my Pumpkin Pie For One or my chocolate graham cracker crust found in my Double Chocolate Caramelized Banana Cream Pie recipe. Those are heavenly!

This pie has the traditional flavors we’ve come to love and look forward to in a pumpkin pie, the only difference is that there isn’t a crust!

Why This Recipe Works

• It’s simply the best part of the pie baked in a skillet.
• You can take this lovely dessert a step further and make a ginger whipped cream to add to the top.

Ingredient Notes

See the recipe box below for ingredient amounts and full recipe instructions.

• Sugar: For sweetness.
• Ground cinnamon, salt, ginger, nutmeg, cloves: These spices are key to any good pumpkin pie recipe. You could use pumpkin pie spice instead of these individual spices.
• Eggs: Eggs set up the pumpkin pie filling. It gives the filling its rich, luxurious texture.
• Pumpkin: Canned pumpkin is best in this pumpkin pie recipe. Make sure to use pumpkin purée and not pumpkin pie filling which contains added sugar.
• Evaporated milk: Evaporated milk is traditionally used in some of the best pumpkin pie recipes and I love using it here too. You could use cream or whole milk instead.
• Streusel: Flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, pecans and butter.
• Ginger Whipped Cream: Heavy cream, sugar, cinnamon, and ginger.
