Not only does this recipe cook in your slow cooker but it makes your house smell amazing!

 Ingredients:

1 can (29 ounces) pumpkin puree
3/4 c. apple juice
1 T. fresh lemon juice
2 T. pumpkin pie spice*
1/2 c. real maple syrup

Note: If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining 3 T. cinnamon, 1 T. ground ginger, 1 T. ground nutmeg, 2 t. ground allspice, and 2 t. ground cloves. Store excess in an airtight container.

Directions:

Add all ingredients to slow cooker and stir until thoroughly combined. Cook on low heat for 4 -5 hours. (You may need to adjust cooking time to achieve the thickness you want). For best results, stir occasionally while cooking.

Cool slightly before transferring to airtight glass containers. Store in refrigerator for up to a week.

I love using this recipe on my pumpkin muffins! It’s so delicious and really brings out the pumpkin flavor.
