Crock-Pot Cooking Tips
- Make sure your slow cooker is large enough to fit the cobbler. A slow cooker with a capacity of 4 to 6 quarts should be suitable for this recipe.
- To prevent sticking, you can either grease the inside of the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or use a liner.
- To cook the cobbler, set your slow cooker to low heat and let it cook for 2-4 hours. Keep in mind that the cooking time may vary depending on your slow cooker, so check on it after 2 hours.
- The cobbler is ready when the edges turn golden brown and the center is set.
- To determine if the cobbler is fully cooked, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs, the cobbler is ready!

Michele Louise Young says
In the video you show two cans of pumpkin. In the recipe it calls for one 15 oz can. Which is correct?
Lois says
There is no video for this Crock Pot Pumpkin Cobbler recipe. Please follow the ingredients and directions in the recipe card. I do have videos that play randomly on my site. So the video you might have seen could be from a different recipe. Sorry for any confusion. Hope you enjoy the recipe.
Shelly says
Although I did double the pumpkin as it was a little too sweet for me. Incredibly delicious either way!
Lois says

Keitha Andrews says
Can this recipe be doubled and would the cook time be the same??
Lois says
I'm not really sure on the time. I've only made this recipe as I posted it. I'm sure you could double it, just make sure you crock pot is big enough. I'm not sure of the time. Hope you enjoy the recipe!
Laurie Cover says

Could I leave the sugar out to make it not so sweet??
Lois says
EDITING MY ORIGINAL COMMENT: While I haven't personally tested it, you could try reducing the sugar by half. For best results, I recommend following the recipe as written, however, if you do try, I hope you will come back and let us know!
Shelly says
Wait, the sugar is mixed into the cake mix? The recipe says to mix it into the pumpkin mixture…..
Lois says
Oh my, yes, you are correct! I will adjust my comment to Cassie. Thank you for catching my error!
