Super Addicting Pecan Pie Bars. Just like pecan pie but so much easier to
make!
Ingredients
Shortbread Crust
€¢ ¾ cup (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, softened - 6 oz
€¢ ½ cup light brown sugar - 100 grams
€¢ 2 cups all purpose flour - 260 grams
€¢ ¼ teaspoon salt
Pecan Filling
€¢ ½ cup unsalted butter - 8 ox
€¢ 1 cup light brown sugar - 200
grams
€¢ …“ cup pure maple syrup
€¢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
€¢ 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
€¢ 2 cups halved pecans
Instructions
Shortbread Crust
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray
and set aside.
2. In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment cream butter and brown
sugar until light and fluffy 3-4 minutes.
3. On low speed add in flour and salt and mix until crumbly. You will
still be able to form it with your hands.
4. Press the dough into the prepared baking dish smoothing into an even
layer. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
5. While the crust bakes prepare the pecan filling.
Pecan Filling
1. Add butter to a medium saucepan and heat over medium heat. Cook butter
stirring continuously until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. This
takes about 5-7 minutes.
2. Take off of the heat and stir in brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla and
heavy cream until combined. Fold in the pecans.
3. When the crust comes out of the oven pour the pecan filling over and
spread into an even layer.
4. Place back in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. It will still look
liquidy but will firm as it cools.
5. Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting into squares.
6. Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to
5 days.
