This Slow Cooker Pumpkin Cobbler is the perfect blend of a classic pumpkin pie and a cozy cobbler. Serve it warm with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a truly delightful treat.
Other pumpkin desserts we love are slow cooker pumpkin pie, or slow cooker pumpkin spoon cake.

We are huge pumpkin fans this time of the year. From pumpkin spice lattes or pumpkin chili (or slow cooker pumpkin soup) we LOVE it all. This is a wonderful dessert for company, you can even serve this at a game day party. Be sure to note that only half a box of yellow cake mix is used in this recipe, doing this insures that the center gets done perfectly and the ratio of cobbler topping to pumpkin is just right.
What you Need:
- Pumpkin Filling Layer: Pumpkin puree (you can use my slow cooker pumpkin recipe), cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, eggs and a pinch of salt.
- Cobbler Topping: Half a box of yellow cake mix and a stick of melted salted butter.
- {The full recipe is in the recipe card below the photos}
Variations
- Swap out the individual spices with 2 teaspoons of pumpkin spice mix for convenience.
- Use spice cake mix or white cake mix as an alternative to yellow cake mix for added variety.
- Sprinkle white chocolate chips on top for a rich, sweet touch.
- Add toasted pecans before or after cooking for a satisfying crunch.
- In a large bowl, add the pumpkin puree, eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt. Whisk until smooth.
- Spray the slow cooker with non-stick spray and add the pumpkin filling to the slow cooker.
- Sprinkle over the cake mix next, remember this is only half of the box (about 1 1/2 cups).
- Drizzle over the melted butter.
- Cook on HIGH for 2 hours and 15 minutes or until set.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve the cobbler warm topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (here’s my homemade whipped cream recipe).
- Toppings you can add to this pumpkin cobbler are toasted pecans (or walnuts) or salted caramel! We like to sprinkle ours with ground nutmeg.

I made this for dessert last night and it was so rich and delicious! I substituted French Vanilla cake mix and wow! Easy to make and quick clean up too. I wish I could post a photo!
So great to hear Tamara!
