Salted Maple Pecan Pie Bars

Ingredients

  • cup butter, softened
  • cup packed brown sugar
  • cup sflour (plus a few more tablespoon sif necessary)
  • large eggs
  • 1/4 cup corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • tablespoon smaple syrup
  • teaspoon vanilla
  • cup specans

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large mixing bowl , cream the butter and 1 cup brown sugar. Add the flour and beat until coarse crumbs form. If the mixture is too soft, add a little more flour. It should be crumbly but stick together when pressed.
  2. Press the crust into a 9×13 baking dish. Bake for 12 15 minutes or until top appears dry and slightly puffed. I like to underbake mine so the crust stays softer, but if you like more of a shortbread type crust, bake a few minutes longer.
  3. For the filling, whisk the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir in the pecans and pour the mixture over the crust. The filling should not be more than just a light layer of sauce over the crust. Arrange any stray pecans and return to the oven for 15 20 minutes. Remove from oven when the filling appears mostly set. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
  4. Cool completely and refrigerate overnight. Cut into 24 pieces and serve slightly chilled.
