Pumpkin Cobbler Recipe

Just in time for the holidays.  Here is the receipe for the delicious pumpkin dessert that Deborah Stafford brought to our meeting last week.  It’s sort of like a “dump cake”.

Thanks to Deborah for sharing.

Pumpkin Cobbler

3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk
1 (16 oz.) can pumpkin  (not pumpkin pie mix)
1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1 box yellow cake mix
¾ cup melted butter
1 cup nuts (optional)

Mix first five ingredients together and pour into the bottom of greased 9×13 pan.

Crumble dry cake mix over the top.  Drizzle the melted butter over the dry cake mix.  Sprinkle nuts over everything.

Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees.  Cool about 10-20 minutes.  Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping.
