Pour Batter Over Filling: Pour the prepared batter over the pumpkin pie filling in the slow cooker, ensuring it covers the filling evenly.

Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on High heat setting for 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Serve: Once cooked, serve the warm dessert with a scoop of ice cream for added indulgence.
