Slow Cooker Pumpkin Pear Crisp
Ingredients:
4 cups thinly sliced peeled tart pears (about 5 medium)
3 cups fresh pumpkin, cubed
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Dash salt
1/4 cup water
1 yellow cake mix
3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Vanilla ice cream
Directions:
Place pears and pumpkin in a greased slow cooker pot. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt; sprinkle over apples. Pour with water. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, oats, butter, brown sugar, baking powder and baking soda and pecans. Sprinkle over apples/pumpkin.
Cook on HIGH for 4 hours or until pears and pumpkin are tender and topping is golden brown. **Before putting the lid on the slow cooker, place 3-4 paper towels over top of cooker and then place lid on top. This will keep the crisp from getting soggy from condensation. Serve warm with ice cream.
