Description
Simple and delicious pecan pie bars, perfect for Thanksgiving or any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix until crumbly.
- Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Stir in the chopped pecans.
- Pour the pecan mixture evenly over the crust.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is mostly firm.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can toast the pecans lightly before chopping.
- Ensure the bars are fully cooled before slicing to prevent them from falling apart.
