Can I used canned pumpkin pie filling instead of pumpkin puree?

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.

What are the best apples to use?

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.

Can I make this gluten free?

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.
