Slow Cooker 5-Ingredient Amish Peanut Butter Pie

Introduction

This Slow Cooker 5-Ingredient Amish Peanut Butter Pie is a wonderfully simple, creamy dessert with classic peanut butter flavor. Made with just a handful of ingredients, it has a rich, silky filling and a sweet peanut butter crumble that makes every bite irresistible. The slow cooker does the work, making this an easy dessert for family dinners, potlucks, or Sunday gatherings.

Ingredients

• 1 prepared 9-inch graham cracker crust
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 (8-ounce) container whipped topping, thawed

Instructions

1. Make the peanut butter crumble: In a small bowl, combine ½ cup peanut butter with ½ cup powdered sugar. Mix until crumbly. Set aside.
2. Prepare the filling: Beat the softened cream cheese with the remaining ½ cup peanut butter and remaining ½ cup powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
3. Gently fold in the whipped topping until completely incorporated.
4. Sprinkle about half of the peanut butter crumble over the bottom of the graham cracker crust.
5. Spoon the peanut butter filling into the crust and smooth the top.
6. Sprinkle the remaining peanut butter crumble over the pie.
7. Place the pie in a slow cooker that is large enough to hold the pie dish or pie pan. Cover the slow cooker with the lid, preferably with a clean kitchen towel secured beneath the lid to catch condensation.
8. Cook on LOW for 1½–2 hours, just until the filling is warmed and slightly set. Do not overcook.
9. Turn off the slow cooker and allow the pie to cool completely.
10. Refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or preferably overnight, before slicing.

Description

Creamy, sweet, and packed with peanut butter goodness, this Amish-inspired pie is an effortless dessert with old-fashioned comfort-food appeal. The buttery graham cracker crust pairs beautifully with the smooth peanut butter filling and delicate crumb topping. It’s especially delicious served cold with an extra spoonful of whipped topping.

Tips

• Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest filling.
• Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
• Don’t skip the chilling time—the pie needs time to firm up.
• For cleaner slices, chill the pie overnight and use a sharp knife.
• If your slow cooker is very humid, check occasionally for excess condensation on the lid.
• A small amount of melted chocolate drizzled over each slice makes a delicious finishing touch.

Variations

• Chocolate Peanut Butter: Add a layer of chocolate cookie crumbs between the crust and filling.
• Crunchy Peanut Butter: Replace creamy peanut butter with crunchy peanut butter for extra texture.
• Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle melted chocolate over the chilled pie before serving.
• Banana Peanut Butter: Add thinly sliced bananas over the crust before adding the filling.
• Pretzel Crust: Substitute a crushed pretzel crust for the graham cracker crust for a sweet-and-salty twist.

Enjoy!
