Pumpkin Crisp

Submitted by Keolani

"Someone brought this to a ladies group gathering last week. Pumpkin desserts was the theme and this dish was the hit. Had to have it. I would describe it as pumpkin pie filling with pecan praline topping. Hope you love it as much as I do."

This dessert was just ok for us ... we loved the bottom layer, which is just like eating pumpkin pie , but the dry cake mix that gets sprinkled over the top never got fully soaked up by the pumpkin. When I cut into it after it had cooled , I had an entire layer of dry, uncooked cake mix ... The directions were good, and the cook time was right on for me , just the dry cake mix part didn't work well. Still glad I tried it though!:)
