Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F and greasing a 9x13-inch baking dish. In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, pecans, butter, flour, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg until everything is well combined and crumbly—that’s your crunchy topping. In another bowl, whisk the yellow cake mix, pumpkin, eggs, and water until you get a smooth batter. Pour half of this batter into the dish, then sprinkle the crunch mixture evenly over it. Carefully spread the rest of the batter on top. Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean. While the dessert cools a bit, mix the powdered sugar and milk together until it’s just pourable, then drizzle it over for a sweet finish.

How to serve
Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. A sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg on top can add a nice touch. This dessert pairs well with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat individual portions gently in the microwave to keep the crunch intact. For longer storage, freeze the dessert wrapped tightly for up to 2 months.
