Here is a quick overview of how to make Dutch Apple-Pumpkin Crisp. See the full recipe below for all the details.
Peel the apples and cut into pieces about 1/2 inch in size. Microwave the chopped apples in the pie plate until crisp-tender.
Mix the Topping ingredients until crumbly. A fork works great for this step.
Whisk the Pumpkin Layer ingredients until smooth, then pour over the apples and sprinkle with the topping.
Bake on the center oven rack until the top is golden brown and the filling is set and no longer jiggles in the center. Let cool slightly before serving warm with whipped cream.
Store Dutch Apple-Pumpkin Crisp covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Place a serving of apple-pumpkin crisp on a microwavable plate. Microwave on medium (50%) 1 to 2 minutes or until warm. Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Heat oven to 350°F. Spread apples over the bottom of a 9-inch glass pie plate. Microwave uncovered on High 4 to 6 minutes or until the apples are crisp-tender.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, toss Topping ingredients until crumbly. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, beat Pumpkin Layer ingredients with a wire whisk until smooth. Pour over the apples. Sprinkle with the Topping mixture.
Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown and set. Cool 20 minutes. Serve warm with whipped cream.
To peel apples, use a swivel-bladed vegetable peeler. It peels quicker than a knife and will remove the peel without taking much of the apple flesh. Or use a crank-type apple peeler to save time.
