Pumpkin Dump Cake

One of my good friends Deb shared this recipe with me several years ago and I loved it, in fact everyone who eats it loves it too. Deb got it from one of her friends at work, who probably got it from a friend and so on.   I love how recipes and food bring people together and connect us. I usually make this dessert during the holidays because it’s easy to throw together when I’m short on time, plus that’s when pumpkin is in season. Pumpkin dump cake tastes like a pumpkin cobbler or pumpkin crisp with a nice crunchy top.

I made this recipe with Truvia sugar blend for baking, it taste just like sugar because it’s from the stevia plant but it’s better for you since it’s doesn’t spike the blood sugar like granulated sugar. I also made this recipe smaller than the original recipe by halfing the ingredients. The original recipe makes a 9X13 inch pan while this recipe is a 9X9 inch pan. Unless you are taking this to a potluck or feeding a large family I recommend this small recipe because it’s so rich.
