The easiest pecan pie ever, in the slow cooker!
With a small, closet sized, kitchen one of the biggest difficulties that I encounter is holiday dinners like Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas dinner! These big meals typically have a roast, several sides and a dessert each of which is contesting for oven or stove top space so it’s always nice to move something out of the oven and off of the stove! I was hesitant to pick up a slow cooker for a long time since it was yet another kitchen device and I have limited space but once I broke down and got it, it has become one of my favourites, especially for large holiday meals!
It’s pretty obvious to move some sides to a slow cooker but how about dessert? How about a pie? You know, one with a pastry crust that’s supposed to be nice and crispy? It didn’t even occur to me that a pie could be done in the slow cooker, not one with a crispy crust anyways, so when I came across the idea a while ago I just had to try it! A slow cooker pie is so easy! You just place the pie crust in a foil lined slow cooker, pour in the filling and cook it on high until the crust is nice and golden brown and crispy and good! With 5 minutes of effort you get an amazing pie that does not require any time in the oven! Perfect for a holiday dinner! One of my favourite pies has to be the classic pecan pie and it works perfectly in the slow cooker!
