My friend (Ann of Cupcake Tasting Party fame) casually mentioned this recipe she had seen on her SIL's Facebook as we sat at our daughters' dance class.
Pumpkin Crunch, you say?
My ears perked up and my back straightened slightly. There may have even been a raising of the eyebrow, not sure. Sounded delicious. Just from the title. So I quickly copied it down in my handy-dandy Family Organizer and went about my business. "My business" being heading straight to the grocery store to get the ingredients for this and then going home and making it.
It's a fancy (and EASY) twist on the ole fall favorite, pumpkin pie. I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin pie myself. I'd much rather have some banana cream pie. But this, THIS, my friends, will be added to the Thanksgiving feast. And will probably be made weekly from about mid-September to the end of November. It's my new "Fall Is Officially Here" treat.
PUMPKIN CRUNCH
1 15oz. can pumpkin
1 12oz. can evaporated milk
1 1/2 C. sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 t. cinnamon
Combine above ingredients and pour into greased 9x13 pan.
1 Yellow Cake Mix
1 C. melted butter
Sprinkle cake mix on top of pumpkin mixture and pour melted butter over top.
Bake at 350 for 1 hour and 10 minutes.
Your house will smell amazing and the second you taste it you will realize, fall is officially here.

Oooohh my goooodness, that looks amazing! I have a feeling that my kiddos and I will make that over their Fall break as my 7-year old has a pumpkin obsession... yeah, that's why we'll make it, for him... Hehehe! Thanks for sharing! :-)

Oohhh FRICK! This looks AMAZING! I think I might make this over the weekend....thanks for sharing!!!
Well darn, I have everything but the cake mix. I'm pinning it for later!
I love pumpkin!! I am definitely going to have to try out this recipe!
YUM! I make a blueberry pie/cobblerish dessert like this - blueberries mixed with some sugar and cooked just a little, then dumped in a pan, cake mix, butter, delish, easy, just add ice cream, or maybe keep it pure.

Yummmmmm and thank you for sharing the recipe.
I have this recipe and it's definitely my fave every fall. I'm always excited when September rolls around because I have an excuse to start making it.
Also, congrats on the YHL mention today. That's some big leagues right there!
Yuuuummmmyyyy! Can't wait to try these! Thanks!

Oh my gosh. Delicious...I am thinking about trying this at a halloween party next week ;)
Mine's in the oven as we speak! How in the world do you wait an hour and ten minutes for this goodness? ;)
Okay, this is VERY good and gooey! Next time, I'll mix the cake mix and butter together first. Caused a little bit of a burn on where the butter ran off. Of course, I was silly and used margarine instead of real butter. Thanks for sharing this!
Wow! I am going to pin this so I don't lose it! (new follower here)
I'm so pinning this!! It looks awesome!! Thanks so much for the inspiration! I hopped over from Show and Tell Saturdays - I'm your newest follower! Hope you have a great weekend!

Making this TODAY! I love all things pumpkin, thanks for sharing!
Oh YUM! Gonna have to get me some pumpkin, STAT! :) Definitely going to try this one! Thanks for sharing. ~Rachel
This looks so good! I can't wait to try it :)
I cannot wait to give this a try. I have all the ingredients on hand. I may surprise my family with this for breakfast. It is breakfast right? LOL.
I tried this to take to a board game night at a friend's house. It was really unusual and really good!
I made the Pumpkin Crunch this past Sunday. Your comment "I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin pie myself. I'd much rather have some banana cream pie. But this, THIS, my friends, will be added to the Thanksgiving feast." sold me on it.
We had friends over to watch football and they all loved it, including my finicky hubby. He complimented it several times, said he could smell it as he was pulling in the driveway, couldn't wait to taste it and said it was a keeper. =)
I was hesitant to try it since I am new to your blog. However, this was a superb start and will definitely try another one of your recommendations.
THANK YOU!!!

I made this today and it was even better than I anticipated! So yummy! Thanks for sharing! I'm keeping this one and it is on the menu for Thanksgiving instead of pumpkin pie.

I could not wait to make this but did not have a cake mix so I used a brownie mix instead and it was YUMMY - made it that way twice now. Thanks!
Looks yummy!
You posted this on my birthday...so I am making it my official Birthday cake!! :)
this sounds amazing. I am definitely glad i found this through pintrest!
I make a very similar pie every year! The only difference is I add pecans to the top with the cake mix and butter. Then when cooled, I flip it so the crunch is on the bottom and frost it with homemade cream cheese frosting :)
Just so you know, I had to look this up to make it AGAIN! It was the first pumpkin fall recipe that came to my mind this year because it was so good last year! I am going to do it again with the chocolate mix on top but I will try it the regular way too this year - YOU ARE THE BEST! (Happy to know Landeelu!)
I'll make this no doubt. It looks and sounds delicious.
One thing I probably will add.(like anonymous)... some pecan halves on top.
Maybe Fall has fell, after all.
Made this last night- YUM!!!!!
DROOLing on the keyboard...
I just finished baking this... Smells and tastes delicious! I'm taking this as one of my desserts to our church's sausage supper. Thanks!!!
I also add pecans to the cake mix, and when finished baking I top it off with whipped cream.
Do I just sprinkle the cake mix over top or do I make the cake batter according to the directions and then pour over top? Thanks! I'm makIng this today!:)
My grandma had a recipe like this called pumpkin pleaser. The only difference is that you top it with cool whip! YUM!!
Made this tonight and it is excellent! We ate it with sugar free Cool Whip.
Is it the pumpkin pie or the puree pumpkin can that you use? I didn't know there was a difference until I tried a different recipe and got the wrong can of pumpkin.
Question: Are you supposed to make the cake mix as per the box's instructions or use the dry cake mix?
I am making this for Thanksgiving tomorrow. Can I make this the day before and just reheat for tomorrow?
i have the same question do you just sprinkle the cake mix on top or make it according to the box? and should I make this thanksgiving morning instead of tonight????
You sprinkle the cake mix on dry and then drizzle the butter over the top!
Hi, I was wondering if you bake this covered or uncovered? I've made it several times, and it's delicious, but the top get quite brown by the time it's done. It doesn't ruin the taste, but it doesn't look quite as pretty as yours does in the pictures. -Elaine
i think i will make this with butternut squash since we love it so much. i bet it will be delicious...
