  • 29 oz can pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 F degrees.  Line a 9x13" baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil and set aside. 
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine flour and 1/4 cup sugar.  Add cubes of butter and cut into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or two forks.  This can also be done in a food processor by pulsing until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
  3. Press crust into the prepared baking dish in an even layer and set aside.  To a large mixing bowl, add pumpkin, eggs, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and 2 cups of sugar.  Whisk or beat together.  Add evaporated milk and stir until well combined.  
  4. Pour mixture over crust in prepared pan and bake at 425 F degrees for 15 minutes.  Leave the pan in the oven and reduce oven temperature to 350 and continue baking another 50-55 minutes, until filling is set.
  5. Remove pan from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.  Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before cutting into bars.  I usually make my bars the night before, so they're refrigerated overnight.
  6. Slice into squares and serve with whipped cream and a light dusting of cinnamon if desired.

Notes

  • 1 serving = 1 bar
  • Slice panful of pumpkin bars horizontally in thirds (by making 2 slices across), then make 4 evenly spaced vertical slices to make 15 bars per pan.
