Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, beat together butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer on low speed until well mixed. Beat in pumpkin and eggs until blended.

In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Slowly add flour mixture to butter mixture; beat for 2 minutes. Fold in nuts, if using. Spoon pie filling into a slow cooker; pour batter over pie filling.

Cover and cook on high setting for 1-1/2 to 2 hours, until a toothpick tests clean. Garnish servings with a dollop of whipped topping.
