Storage Tips

Refrigerator: Once the crisp has cooled completely, cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil. You can also transfer leftovers into an airtight container. It will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm it in the oven at 350F for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.

Freezer: This baked crisp also freezes well. Store in a freezer safe container and wrap the dish well in foil. It will freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the fridge overnight before reheating.

How To Freeze Unbaked Apple Pumpkin Crisp

You can freeze both the baked and unbaked crisp, my favorite way to do it is freezing unbaked crisps.

Simply prepare the filling and topping, layer them in your freezer and oven safe container. Then cover well with foil.

Write the date and cooking instructions on the foil and place into your freezer.

To cook from frozen simply remove it from the freezer, remove the foil and plastic wrap if you used it and place the foil back on loosely.

Bake covered at 350F for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes or until the filling is bubbling and the topping is a golden brown.

FAQ’s

It’s best to use plain pumpkin puree for this recipe. Pumpkin pie filling already has spices and sugar added, which can make the crisp overly sweet and change the flavor.

Any good cooking apple will work such as cortland, granny smith, honeycrisp, gala, or fuji. They hold their shape well while baking and balance the pumpkin flavor well.

Yes! I make gluten free versions all the time for my daughter. Just use certified gluten free oats and substitute the flour in the topping with your favorite gluten free all purpose blend. Almond flour or oat flour work well.
