Southern Pecan Pie Bars

Pecan Pie is one of our favorites.  I want to make it pretty much all the time, but I try to restrain myself. At least until the temperatures drop a bit and the first leaf changes color.  Then all bets are off.

But do you want to know what's even better than Pecan Pie? These Southern Pecan Pie Bars.  Let me tell you why.  The crust is a lot softer than your average pie crust, but it's also thicker and more absorbent.  The Southern pecan pie bars filling actually sinks into the crust and creates this wonderful, gooey, soft, sweet dessert that you will absolutely become addicted to.  No shame in eating the whole batch of Southern Pecan Pie Bars! (That's what I'm telling myself.  Work with me, here!)

Southern Pecan Pie Bars are actually very simple to make and will finish off your holiday meals as the star of the show. My guarantee!

Ingredients

For the Crust

  • 2 cups flour
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup butter, softened (2 sticks)

For the Pecan Filling

  • 3 eggs beaten
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the ingredients for the crust.
  • Spread crust mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 9"x13" baking dish.
  • Bake at 350°F. If using a light-colored of glass pan, bake for 25-30 minutes. If using a dark pan, cook for 15-20 minutes. Edges of the crust should be lightly browned and crust should be mostly cooked through.
  • While crust is baking, prepare the filling. Combine eggs, corn syrup, butter, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl and whisk together.
  • Stir in pecans.
  • Pour mixture over crust and spread evenly.
  • Bake at 350° for about 30-40 minutes, until pecan filling is set.

    We love pecan anything. My brother-in-law manages a pecan farm in Georgia so we have pecans all the time, but especially now when they are being harvested. I have another bar recipe but this looks better. Pinning and making,
