Pumpkin Filling
- 2 cups pumpkin puree (preferably canned)
- 1 cup evaporated milk or milk alternative
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Cobbler Topping
- 1 cup self-rising flour (or gluten-free blend for GF option)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/3 cup butter (or coconut oil for vegan)
- Prepare the Pumpkin Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, evaporated milk or milk alternative, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk until smooth and well blended to create a creamy, flavorful base.
- Add the Cobbler Topping: In a separate bowl, mix self-rising flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Evenly sprinkle this topping over the pumpkin filling in the crockpot to ensure even cooking and texture balance.
- Slow Cook the Cobbler: Cover the crockpot and set it to low. Cook for 3 to 4 hours without frequent lid opening. The topping will rise and form a moist, tender crust over the pumpkin base.
- Cool and Serve: After cooking, let the cobbler cool slightly to allow the layers to set. Scoop generous portions to enjoy both the creamy pumpkin filling and spiced topping.
Notes
- Use a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup.
- Use fresh, high-quality spices for the best flavor.
- Avoid opening the lid often to maintain cooking temperature and moisture.
- Taste pumpkin mixture before topping; adjust sugar to preference.
- Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the topping – it should come out clean.
