How to Make Pumpkin Pie Crunch Yum Yum

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat a 13 x 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine: 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1 cup granulated sugar.
  3. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking pan.
  4. Sprinkle 1 (15.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix evenly over the pumpkin mixture. Top with 1 cup pecan halves.
  5. Drizzle 1/2 cup melted shortening (or butter) over the top.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  7. Let cool completely, at least 2 hours, before serving. This allows the filling to set and the crunch to develop.
  8. Serve chilled or at room temperature with whipped cream!
