Pecan Pie Bars
These easy Pecan Pie Bars have the same chewy, syrupy taste of pecan pie you know and love, just in bar form!
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup salted butter (cold, cut into 1/2" pieces)
Filling
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (measured packed)
- 3/4 cup dark corn syrup
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups roughly chopped pecans (salted or unsalted, based on preference )
Instructions
CRUST
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a square 9-inch pan baking pan with parchment paper.
- Prepare the crust by combining the flour, confectioner’s sugar, and butter with a food processor (or pastry cutter) until it is crumbly. Press the crust gently and evenly into the baking pan.
- Bake the crust for 15-18 minutes or until just turning golden.
FILLING
- While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, flour, vanilla, and salt. When this is fully combined, stir in the chopped pecans.
- When you remove the crust from the oven, pour the filling evenly on top of the crust. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the filling is set.
- It is best to allow the pecan bars to cool completely, and chill in the fridge for at least an hour before cutting them.
