Slow cookers — they’re pretty much God’s gift to the kitchen. Why spend precious time smashing pumpkin pie ingredients into a tin and hovering over the oven when they’re is fun to be had and wine to be drunk?
Instead of baking your holiday pumpkin pie the old-fashioned way, toss the fixings into a slow cooker and get on with your day. The resulting dessert is a cross between a traditional pie and a creamy pumpkin custard with a crust-like topping. Delish.
