Pumpkin Mixture
- 3 large eggs
- 29 ounces pumpkin puree
- 12 ounces evaporated milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Topping
- 15.25 ounces butter pecan cake mix
- 4 tbsp brown sugar
- ¾ cup butter, melted
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: Beat the eggs slightly until blended. This creates the base for the pumpkin filling.
- Combine Pumpkin Ingredients: Add the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, salt, and vanilla extract to the eggs. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated to form a smooth filling.
- Pour into Slow Cooker: Grease the slow cooker insert with butter or non-stick spray. Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly into the slow cooker.
- Add Cake Mix Topping: Evenly sprinkle the butter pecan cake mix powder over the pumpkin mixture. Then sprinkle the brown sugar on top of the cake mix for extra sweetness and caramelization.
- Drizzle Melted Butter: Slowly drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix and sugar topping to help it bake into a crisp, flavorful crust.
- Slow Cook: Cover and cook on the low setting for 3 to 4 hours, or until the cobbler topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Notes
- Use a slow cooker with at least a 4-quart capacity for best results.
- If your slow cooker runs hot, check the cobbler at 3 hours to prevent overcooking.
- Allow the cobbler to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to let it set properly.
- Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat gently before serving.
