Notes
This would also be really cute baked in individual ramekins. I imagine it would fill up about 8 standard ramekins and I'd bake it at the same temperature but maybe start checking for doneness around the 30 minute mark.
If you want to streamline this and have one less dish to wash, mix the pumpkin filling right in the skillet.
If you don't have a food processor you can place gingersnaps in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin or the smooth side of a meat mallet. Then just combine the streusel ingredients in a bowl.
