This is the exact same recipe i use except i use a 29 oz can of pumpkin and walnuts instead of pecans. For those who havent tried or made pumpkin crunch yet, your missing out! Best recipe!!

OMG! Can I give it more than 5 stars? I've had a can of pumpkin lurking in my pantry for over a year. But, the expiration date isn't until 2010! This stuff can last forever. This cake is so delicious. It's like a varaition of a dump cake. It was so easy and didn't leave me with a difficult to clean pan because of the wax paper. It's delicious without the topping. I really think that it would stand alone fine without the topping. I used reduced sugar yellow cake mix and fat free evaporated milk and 1/3 less fat cream cheese. I cut the edges straight before frosting it. I'm actually sitting here now eating a bowl of the cut off edges. Thanks for such a delicious way to use pumpkin. I'll be making this in the future instead of pumpkin pies
