Instructions
Making Sweet Pumpkin Pecan Pie Bars is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add the melted butter and mix until crumbly. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
3. Bake the Crust: Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
4. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg until smooth and well combined.
5. Add Pecans: Stir in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
6. Combine: Pour the pumpkin filling over the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake Again: Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes before slicing.
9. Slice: Once cooled, cut into squares or bars and serve.
