Easy Pumpkin Pie Bars Recipe For Any Occasion
Ingredients
For The Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
For The Filling:
- 1 can 15 oz pumpkin puree (not canned pumpkin pie filling)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons homemade pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 can 12 oz evaporated milk
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare The Crust
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
- To create a uniform crust, firmly press the mixture into the pan’s bottom.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: Make The Pumpkin Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- One by one, add the eggs, stirring thoroughly after each addition.
- Gradually stir in the evaporated milk until the filling is smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Assemble And Bake
- Pour the pumpkin filling over the baked crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely before slicing. For best results, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
