For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to the crumb topping. If you don't have evaporated milk, you can substitute with half-and-half or whole milk, though the texture might be slightly different. Make sure the butter for the topping is cold and softened, not melted, for the best crumbly texture. Allow the crisp to cool slightly before serving to prevent burning your mouth. Pumpkin pie spice can be used instead of nutmeg and cinnamon.
