Ingredients
For the Shortbread Crust
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Pecan Pie Bar Filling

- Line an 8 X 8 baking dish with parchment paper.
- Use your hands to press the shortbread crust batter evenly into the pan.
- Bake the crust at 300 degrees for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and beginning to brown.
- In a large bowl, mix together the pecan pie bar filling: the eggs, maple syrup, brown sugar, heavy whipping cream, flour, vanilla, and salt.
- Once that is mixed, stir in the pecan pieces.
- When the shortbread crust is done baking, pour the pecan pie bar filling over the top.
- Turn the oven up to 350 degrees and bake the pecan pie bars for 30-35 minutes, until they are hardly jiggly in the center. The edges should be browned.
- Remove the pecan pie bars from oven and allow them to cool completely.
- Refrigerate the pecan pie bars for 30 minutes, then cut into slices.
