Ingredients

  • 2 cans (15 oz.) pumpkin purée
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 Tbsp. orange juice
  • 1 Tbsp. orange zest
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 cup chopped pecan halves
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • ½ cup butter, softened

Directions

  • Set oven to 375°F. Grease a medium baking dish with non-stick coking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the filling ingredients. Pour the pumpkin filling into the baking dish.
  • In a small bowl, toss together pecans, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix in the butter with your fingers, until you have a crumbly mixture. Sprinkle the pecan mixture over the pumpkin filling.
