This dish is full of warm spiced flavor with an addictive crumbly topping. It’s classic fall comfort food and perfect to served warm with ice cream
Butter or oil a 1 quart (400 ml) casserole pan or use individual-sized pans. Halve the pumpkin, peel, and scrape out the seeds. You will have about 1 1/2 pounds (650 g) when cleaned and seeded. Cut the pumpkin into small cubes.
Mix the pumpkin, ginger, zest, vanilla sugar, 2 tablespoons (25 g) of the demerara sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl. Mix in the prunes and transfer to the prepared baking pan.
Preheat the oven to 375F (190C). Combine the flour, remaining 1/4 cup (55 g) demerara sugar, salt and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces and rub the butter into the flour to form a crumble topping. Sprinkle over the pumpkin mix.
Bake the crumble in the middle of the oven until golden brown on top and bubbling on the sides, about 35 minutes for smaller pans and 55 minutes in a single pan. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
