Craving pumpkin but not feeling a pie crust? I hear you! This recipe is a total game-changer – think of it as pumpkin pie's super easy, super delicious cousin. We're ditching the traditional pastry and using cake mix instead, which means you get all the warm, cozy pumpkin flavor with hardly any effort. Trust me, even if you're not a baker, you can totally nail this one!

Ingredients

1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
0.333 cupsunsalted butter, melted
1large egg
1 (29 ounce) can pumpkin puree
3large eggs
0.667 cupsmilk
0.5 cupsbrown sugar
2 tablespoonspumpkin pie spice
0.5 cupswhite sugar
0.25 cupscold unsalted butter, cubed
0.75 cupschopped walnuts

Directions

Here's a reformulated version of the Pumpkin Dessert recipe instructions, designed to be friendly, clear, and encouraging:
Alright, let's get started! First things first, gather all your ingredients. Having everything ready to go will make the whole process smoother and more enjoyable.
Next, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). While it's heating up, lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. This will prevent your delicious dessert from sticking!
Now, let's work on the crust. Grab a small bowl and transfer 1 cup of the cake mix into it – we'll need this later for the yummy topping. Set that bowl aside.
In a medium bowl, place the remaining cake mix. Add the melted butter and the egg. Mix everything together until it's well blended. Don't worry about being perfect; just make sure it's nicely combined.
Take that mixture and gently spread it evenly across the bottom of your prepared baking dish. This will be the foundation of our amazing dessert!
Time for the filling! In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix it all together really well, until everything is nicely incorporated.
Carefully pour this luscious pumpkin filling over the crust in your baking dish. Make sure it's evenly distributed.
Let's make that irresistible topping! Take the small bowl with the reserved cake mix, and add the white sugar and cubed butter.
Using a pastry blender (or even just your fingers!), mix the cake mix, sugar, and butter together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This will give our dessert a wonderful texture.
Sprinkle this crumbly topping evenly over the pumpkin filling.
Finally, scatter the chopped walnuts over the top. Feel free to add a little extra if you're a big walnut fan!
Pop the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is beautifully golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean (or with just a few moist crumbs).
Let it cool completely before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and makes it easier to cut. Enjoy your amazing Pumpkin Dessert! You did it!
