1/2 cup (125 mL) quick-cooking oats

1/2 cup (125 mL) packed brown sugar

1/4 cup (50 mL) firm butter or margarine

Filling:

1 can (14oz/398mL) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

1 can (370 mL) evaporated milk

2 eggs

3/4 cup (175 mL) granulated sugar

1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt

2 tsp (10 mL) pumpkin pie spice

1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped pecans

Spiced Whipped Cream:

1 cup (250 mL) whipping cream

1 tsp (5 mL) grated orange peel

1/2 tsp (1 mL) ground cinnamon

Heat oven to 350°F (180°C) for shiny metal pan or 325°F (160°C). In medium bowl, mix all crust ingredients until crumbly.
Press in ungreased 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) rectangular pan. Bake 10 minutes; cool slightly.
In large bowl, beat pumpkin, milk, eggs, granulated sugar, salt and pie spice until smooth. Pour over partially baked crust. Bake 20 minutes.
In small bowl, mix pecans, 1/2 cup (125 mL) brown sugar and 2 tbsp (25 mL) butter until crumbly; sprinkle over pumpkin filling.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes longer or until filling is set. Cool completely.
In chilled small bowl, beat whipping cream with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.
Beat in granulated sugar, orange peel and cinnamon until stiff peaks form. Serve dessert topped with whipped cream. Store in refrigerator.

Tip: Feel like skipping the whipping? Stir grated orange peel and cinnamon into 2 cups (500 mL) of frozen (thawed) whipped topping instead of beating the whipping cream.
