Comfort food and the holidays go together like my daughters and me. A perfect match meant to induce the most amazing feelings of love and happiness. But while comfort food’s effects last only as long as I can gobble it down, the aroma can last a lot longer and can make my home warm and comfortable smelling all day long. This Slow Cooker Pumpkin Cobbler, which I have been craving big time lately, leaves the smell of fall wafting through the house inviting warmth and holiday happiness throughout.

I remember walking into my grandmother’s house as a child, presents under the tree, the scent of pine mixing with the warm cinnamon apples on the stove. There would be a feeling of coziness as the flames flickered in the fireplace. Actually, what is really interesting is that I don’t remember a fireplace in her house, but I remember feeling very warm and invited. That is the feeling I think we all want to have in our homes all holiday season long, even if it is just us.

Here are a few tips on this one.

  • Making homemade whipped cream is easy. I did add a pinch of cinnamon and and 1/2 tsp of vanilla to this batch to help bring out the pumpkin flavor!
  • Candies pecans are so easy. In a saucepan, add 1/2 cup chopped pecans and ‘roast’ for about 3 minutes. In a small bowl, mix 1/2 TBSP brown sugar, a splash of vanilla, and a pinch of salt to help offset the sweetness. Pour it over the nuts and mix well, cooking on low for about 10 minutes. Lay on parchment paper to cool and then sprinkle them over the top of the Slow Cooker Pumpkin Cobbler! Super easy but it adds a little crunch to the dish!
  • Leftovers can be saved in an airtight container. Simply reheat in the microwave 30 seconds at a time until warm throughout.
  • I cut the sugar in the recipe by using a sugar substitute. The flavor stays the same and I feel better about indulging!
