How to Make Pumpkin Pie Dessert Squares

  1. Grease the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. Reserve 1 cup of yellow cake mix for the topping.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the remaining cake mix (about 1 1/2 cups), 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, and 1 large egg. Mix until just combined.
  4. Press the mixture evenly into the greased pan to form the crust.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin pie spice, eggs, and vanilla extract until completely smooth.
  6. Pour the pumpkin filling evenly over the prepared crust.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the reserved 1 cup cake mix, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter until crumbly.
  8. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the pumpkin filling.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
  11. Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of decadence!
