Pumpkin Pie Pudding {Slow Cooker Monday}

Tweet

It has been almost a month since I have posted on this blog. 

Part of my absence had to do with family visiting, another part of it had to do with home renovations, and yet, another part of it had to do with recipes that have not worked out for me.

It just seemed that no matter which meal I picked to try, my slow cooker was determined to utter these words to me, "This will not be a blog-worthy recipe today.  Keep trying."  

It was like it was sitting on the counter, laughing it up each time I poured ingredients into it.  It made me leary of trying new recipes, for fear of them failing and wasting money on groceries.

I pressed on though and after weeks of doing battle, I finally won with this dessert!

If you enjoy pumpkin pie, then you will LOVE this recipe!

It has all the ingredients that remind you of autumn...

cinnamon, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice....shall I go on??

This literally is like eating a slice of pumpkin pie, minus the crust.  

Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl, dump it all in the slow cooker, and cook on low for 3-4 hours.  

Easy peasy.  You can't go wrong with this recipe.  You just can't.

As for my slow cooker, I am at one with it now...wonder how long it will last? ;)
