Pecan Pie Bars Pioneer Woman

Erin Table for Seven
Pecan Pie Bars From Pioneer Woman are a family favorite for many, including myself. Throughout the holiday season, I make a pretty classic version, but sometimes I like to take something familiar and make it slightly different.

Ingredients
  

Crust:

  • ¾ cup butter room temperature
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

Filling:

  • ⅔ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 ½ cups corn syrup light or dark
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ½ cups coarsely chopped pecans

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9×13 baking dish with aluminum foil and set it aside.
  • With the paddle attachment fitted to your stand mixer, combine the butter and sugar at medium speed. Then turn the mixer to low and blend in the flour. The mixture will be dry.
  • In the prepared pan, press the mixture evenly into the bottom. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  • As the crust bakes, prepare the filling. Whisk sugar, corn syrup, eggs, and vanilla until smooth in a large bowl. Whisk in flour and salt and mix well. Then stir in the pecans.
  • Immediately after the crust is done, spread the pecan mixture over it. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is just set.
  • Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars, or keep refrigerated airtight until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Make sure you wait until the center of the Pioneer Woman Pecan Pie Bars is just set before taking them out of the oven. You want the top to be dry and give slightly under the surface. You don’t want it to jiggle.
  • You run the risk of the bars oozing if you cut into them too early. Nevertheless, you shouldn’t bake them too long so they become puffy in the center.
  • I check the Pioneer Woman Pecan Pie Bars after 35 minutes in the oven, and they still jiggle a little, like Jell-O. At that point, I know they need only another 3 to 4 minutes to complete baking and fully set.
