Recipe for Holiday Cheer.

Holidays are a special time of year. I love the food at Thanksgiving and Christmas, all the pretty lights and spending time with friends and family. I recently discovered the following recipe, and thought I would share it with you. It's easy enough to cook in your crockpot, and it will surely be a hit!

Slow Cooker Apple Pumpkin Pudding

Ingredients:

2 medium apples, diced

15 oz. can pumpkin puree

5 oz. can evaporated milk

1/3 c. brown sugar

1 Tbsp. pumpkin pie spice

1 box spice cake mix

4 Tbsp. butter

1/2 c. rolled oats

1/2 c. chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions:

Put apples in the bottom of the crockpot. In a mixing bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Pour the mixture over the apples. In a separate bowl, stir cake mix, walnuts and oats. Sprinkle over crockpot ingredients. Melt butter and drizzle over cake mix. Cook on high 2 1/2 hours. Turn off crockpot, remove lid and let sit in crockpot for another 15-20 minutes.

*I like to top with caramel sauce and ice cream. Enjoy!!!
