Instructions

Tips
- Grease Well: Make sure to lightly grease the interior of your crockpot to prevent any sticking, ensuring that your cobbler comes out easily and maintains its beautiful shape.
- Mix Thoroughly: When combining the pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice, take the time to mix until smooth. This ensures that the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the cobbler.
- Layering is Key: Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly across the bottom of the crockpot before adding the cake mix and pecans. This layering technique creates a delicious contrast of textures.
- Watch the Cooking Time: Keep an eye on your cobbler as it cooks. Depending on your crockpot model, cooking times can vary. You’re looking for a golden top and slightly crispy edges.
- Let it Rest: After cooking, allow the cobbler to rest for 15-20 minutes. This helps it set and makes it easier to serve.
- Serve Warm: For an extra special treat, serve your cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. The combination is simply heavenly!
