Ingredients for 3 Layer Pumpkin Pie Dessert

  • Yellow Cake Mix
  • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • Pumpkin Pie Filling
  • Eggs
  • 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Walnuts

How to Make 3 Layer Pumpkin Pie Dessert

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease or spray a 13x9 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Reserve 1 cup of dry cake mix for the topping.
  4. **Crust:** In a medium bowl, combine the remaining cake mix (approximately 1 1/2 cups), 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, and 1 large egg. Mix until just combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  5. **Filling:** In a separate bowl, combine 1 (15 ounce) can of pumpkin pie filling, 2 large eggs, and 1 (12 ounce) can of evaporated milk. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  6. Pour the filling evenly over the prepared crust.
  7. **Topping:** In a medium bowl, combine the reserved 1 cup dry cake mix, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the filling.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is set. Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Let cool completely before serving. Serve chilled with a dollop of whipped cream.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
