Spray a 6 or 7-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
Use an electric mixer to combine all the filling ingredients until smooth. Transfer the mixture to the slow cooker, and spread in an even layer.

Make the Topping:
In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. The mixture will be crumbly. Stir in the pecans, then sprinkle over the filling.
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, ⅔ cup light brown sugar, ½ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 cup pecans
Cover, and cook on HIGH for 2 ½ to 3 ½ hours or until the sides are lightly browned and the center looks firm but shiny. Let the casserole set for 15-20 minutes before serving.
