I found this recipe in one of my cookbooks. In order to justify my cookbook collection, I have to use them sometimes. I don’t know about you, but looking through cookbooks can be as distracting. The first thing you know, you’ve been reading for hours and have a nice new grocery list!

Fall flavors like recipes with pumpkin and apples make your home smell delicious and also give it those cozy Fall feels we all love.

Let’s face it, most folks are either a fan of pumpkin flavors or apple flavors. Pumpkin recipes can use a can of pumpkin puree as this one does or a little pumpkin spice, like my recipe for Pumpkin Spice Chex Mix.

Why just serve a slice of cake on a plate when you can place small bites into a pretty Sundae dish, place a dollop of vanilla ice cream on and then drizzle it with Maple Pecan Ice Cream Topping?

Ingredients

• 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. Allspice
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 sticks unsalted butter at room temperature
• 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
• 4 eggs at room temperature
• 1 can 15oz. solid-pack pumpkin

Instructions

• Spray your slow cooker well with non-stick cooking spray.
• Blend dry ingredients together (flour, baking powder, baking soda, Allspice, and salt) in a large bowl and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar at high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
• Add eggs to butter and sugar mixture, one at a time, blending after each.
• Add in pumpkin and blend well.
• Carefully add flour mixture. Turn your mixer down to keep the flour from blowing up as you add it a little bit at a time until it is all added in.
• Blend until smooth.
• Spread evenly into your prepared crockpot.
• Cover and cook on HIGH for about 2-2 1/2 hours. Cooking times may vary depending on your slow cooker.
• Toothpick inserted into center should come out clean when your cake is done.
• You may wish to line your slow cooker with aluminum foil and then spray. Slow cooker cakes tend to become well done around the edges, the foil may help prevent that.

Maple Pecan Topping

The original recipe in the Crockpot cookbook called for a jar of caramel ice cream topping. Now you can, of course, purchase a jar already prepared at the grocery store but I wanted to make a topping.

This recipe makes about 3 cups of maple pecan flavored ice cream sauce.

• 3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 Tbsp. Maple Syrup
• 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 1/4 cup Half & Half

Combine brown sugar, water, and maple syrup in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for about 6 to 8 minutes until the Candy thermometer reaches soft ball stage 234°.

Remove from heat and stir in butter and stir in Half & half and pecans.

Allow to completely cool before serving. Drizzle over the top of ice cream or cake for best results.

The Ice cream topping can be stored in an airtight container in a refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
