This Crockpot Pumpkin Cobbler with Cake Mix combines the rich flavors of pumpkin, warm spices, and a buttery cake topping, all slow-cooked to perfection for a cozy fall dessert that’s both easy to make and irresistibly delicious.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 10 minutes - 3 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pumpkin Mixture: First things first, let’s mix up our pumpkin base. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. This mixture will form the luscious, creamy foundation of your crockpot pumpkin cobbler.
  2. Assemble the Cobbler: Next, you’ll want to prepare your crockpot. Lightly grease the inside with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the bottom of the crockpot, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Now, sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the top of the pumpkin mixture. Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix, trying to cover as much of the surface as possible. If you’re feeling a bit nutty, sprinkle some chopped pecans over the top for an added crunch.
  3. Cook the Cobbler: Now for the easy part—cooking! Cover the crockpot with the lid and set it to high. Let it cook for 2-3 hours, or until the top is golden brown and the pumpkin mixture is set. You’ll know it’s done when the edges are slightly crispy and the center is moist but firm. The aroma of pumpkin and spices filling your home will make the wait worthwhile!
  4. Serve: Finally, it’s time to enjoy your hard work! Serve the Crockpot Pumpkin Cobbler warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. The combination of warm cobbler and cold ice cream creates a delightful contrast that makes each bite a true delight.

Notes

  • Customize Your Cobbler: Feel free to experiment with different types of cake mixes or add-ins like chocolate chips or dried cranberries. A spice cake mix would add an extra layer of flavor!
  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat portions in the microwave.
  • Make It Ahead: You can prepare the pumpkin mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. When you’re ready to cook, just assemble the cobbler in your crockpot and go!
  • Texture Tips: For a crispier topping, you can remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking to let some of the moisture escape.
