No one will guess how easy this pudding is to make. A package of gingersnap cookies is placed in the crock of the slow cooker and pumpkin pie filling (whizzed up in a food processor or blender is quickest, but whisked together is fine) poured over. Turn on the slow cooker and Voila!, after about 3 hours a delicious pudding is ready to serve. This is a great dessert to serve throughout the entire holiday season.
