Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 29 ounces pumpkin puree
- 12 ounces evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup butter, melted
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 15.25 ounces butter pecan cake mix
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
- Beat the Eggs: Lightly beat 3 large eggs in a large mixing bowl until combined but not frothy.
- Mix Pumpkin Ingredients: Add 29 ounces pumpkin puree, 12 ounces evaporated milk, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the eggs. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully blended.
- Prepare Slow Cooker: Grease the inside of your slow cooker with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking. Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly into the slow cooker bowl.
- Add Cake Mix Topping: Evenly sprinkle 15.25 ounces of butter pecan cake mix over the surface of the pumpkin mixture. Then sprinkle 4 tablespoons of brown sugar on top of the cake mix to add extra sweetness and caramelization.
- Pour Melted Butter: Drizzle 3/4 cup of melted butter evenly over the cake mix and brown sugar. This will create a golden, buttery crust as it cooks.
- Cook: Cover and cook on low heat for 3 to 4 hours, or until the cobbler is set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Avoid opening the lid frequently to maintain a consistent cooking temperature.
Notes
- Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for best results.
- Butter pecan cake mix gives a nutty flavor, but you can substitute with yellow or spice cake mix if preferred.
- Cooking time can vary based on your slow cooker model; start checking at 3 hours.
- Let cobbler cool slightly before serving to allow it to set.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.
