Ingredients
For the crust
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter cold and cut into cubes
Pecan topping
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 ¼ cup light corn syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 large egg room temperature
- 2 ½ cups pecans chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 13x9 baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
- For the crust, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add in cubed butter and mix until crumbly and butter pieces are pea-sized (use your hands or a pastry cutter).
- Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges become lightly browned.
- While the crust is baking, make the filling.
- Combine brown sugar with corn syrup, vanilla, and salt. Beat in eggs and fold in pecan pieces.
- Pour pecan filling over warm, baked crust, then return to the oven to continue baking for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until the center of the bars are set.
- Cool completely before serving.
Notes
- You’ll want the bars to cool completely before slicing or they may fall apart.
- Make sure the pecan pie filling is set in the middle of the bars before taking them out of the oven. These won’t take as long as a pecan pie to bake because it’s much thinner.
- The pecan pie filling may caramelize around the edges of the pan. Use a thin, sharp knife to help loosen it from the edges.
- Counter: Place the bars in an airtight container, and leave them on the counter for up to 3 days. The crust may start to get soggy after that.
- Refrigerator: Place the bars in an airtight container, and store them in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Bring to room temperature or heat them in the microwave before serving.
- Freezer: Wrap each bar in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge then reheat in the microwave or bring to room temperature before serving.
