Pumpkin Spice Crumble With Pear And Cranberry Food

PUMPKIN CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter.
• Whisk together the pumpkin puree, half-and-half, granulated sugar, eggs, 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, 1/4 teaspoon cardamom and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until well blended.
• In another large bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, flour, remaining 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, 1/4 teaspoon cardamom and 1/2 teaspoon salt, breaking up any lumps of brown sugar with a fork. Melt the remaining 7 tablespoons butter and stir into the flour mixture until it is completely moistened and crumbly.
• Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly in the bottom of the baking dish. Scatter the oat mixture on top. Bake until the pumpkin is set around the edges but still jiggly when shaken, and the topping is brown and crisp, about 50 minutes.
• Serve room temperature or slightly warm with whipped cream on the side.

PUMPKIN SPICE-CRANBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with muffin liners and lightly coat with cooking spray.
• Combine the cranberries and orange juice in a small microwave safe bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and poke a small hole to vent. Microwave until the orange juice is warm, about 1 minute. Set aside to let the cranberries plump, about 5 minutes, then drain off the juice.
• Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a medium bowl and set aside.
• Whisk together the butter, plumped cranberries, pumpkin puree, milk, eggs and orange zest in a large bowl. Add the flour-spice mixture to the pumpkin mixture and gently fold the batter together until it is just combined (it's ok if there are a few lumps).
• Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups and sprinkle the top of each muffin generously with the turbinado sugar. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 24 minutes. Cool the muffins in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
