How to Make Sweet Pumpkin Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup packed brown sugar, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 13x9 inch baking pan.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  5. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon salt until smooth and well combined.
  6. Pour the pumpkin filling evenly over the partially baked crust.
  7. In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup packed brown sugar, ¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts, and ¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Mix until crumbly.
  8. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the pumpkin filling.
  9. Bake for an additional 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
