Pumpkin Pecan Crunch
Pumpkin. Pecans. Buttery cake topping. = PERFECTION
These are the perfect flavors of fall! THIS is a comfort dessert. I’m ready to eat a bowl of this with a hot cup of coffee for a cozy autumn evening. This pumpkin pecan crunch is one of my most absolute favorite desserts! I love pumpkin pie and at Thanksgiving, I like to take a half of piece of pumpkin pie and half of a piece of pecan pie and eat a bite of each together. Yum!!
Because of my love of pumpkin and pecan pie mixed, this pumpkin pecan crunch dessert is a favorite of mine. It’s like pumpkin and pecan pie all wrapped up in one dessert. What a wonderful combination of pumpkin and pecan pie mixed!
In just 10 minutes of less, you can have this ready to go in the oven.

If you know us, you know that we love fall and everything pumpkin! Recently Emily posted her pumpkin oat milk steamer. And, let me tell you, this pairs nicely with the pumpkin pecan crunch!
Honestly it looks like fabulous but I’m Italian and for me is totally out to use so lot canned ingredients. In Italy if you want to prepare a pumpkin pie you use a pumpkin and real flour not weird mix… I’ll try to prepare your dessert with real ingredients and let you know 😄
