Easy pecan pie bars

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325F then line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, add in the flour, salt, and cornstarch and mix. Add in the cold butter and work it into the dough with your hand or a pastry cutter until cookie dough forms. Press onto the prepared baking pan and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl mix the eggs, brown sugar, light corn syrup, heavy cream, salt, vanilla extract, and cornstarch until combined. Stir in the pecans pieces.

Step 4

Once the crust is done baking pour the pecan pie filling on top of the crust and bake for 30-35 minutes. The edges will brown a little and the center will be barely jiggly.

Step 5

Remove from the oven and let cool completely before transferring to chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Slice the bars and serve.
