Pumpkin Filling
- 1 ½ cups pumpkin puree
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Cobbler Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ cup milk
- 4 tbsp butter, melted and slightly cooled
- Prepare the Pumpkin Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined. This forms the luscious, spiced base of your cobbler.
- Mix the Cobbler Topping: Combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Slowly stir in the milk and melted butter until you get a thick batter with no lumps. This batter will create a tender, flavorful crust as it cooks atop the pumpkin filling.
- Assemble in the Crockpot: Pour the pumpkin mixture directly into the crockpot. Spoon the cobbler topping evenly over the surface, making sure to cover as much area as possible without mixing.
- Cook Low and Slow: Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours, or until the cobbler topping is set, lightly golden, and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean. Avoid opening the lid too often to keep the heat consistent.
- Serve Warm and Enjoy: Once cooked, let it sit for a few minutes before serving. This gives the cobbler time to thicken perfectly. Scoop generous portions into bowls and add your favorite garnishes like whipped cream or ice cream.
Notes
- Use freshly ground cinnamon and nutmeg for the best flavor.
- Don’t overfill the crockpot; leave space for heat circulation.
- Resist the urge to lift the crockpot lid frequently to maintain consistent cooking temperature.
- Let melted butter cool slightly before mixing to prevent curdling the batter.
- Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the topping; it should come out clean but the topping remains soft.
