Pecan Pie Bars

Pecan Shortbread Crust

1 3/4 cup flour

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 t. salt

1/3 cup finely chopped pecans

1 cup butter, room temperature

Pecan Pie Filling

2/3 cup brown sugar

1 t. salt

4 eggs

1 1/4 c. corn syrup

1/4 cup maple syrup

2 t. vanilla

3 cups roughly chopped pecans

Prepare crust by combining flour, sugar, salt, and pecans. Cut in butter until you get coarse crumbs. Press into a grease 9x13 pan making slightly curved edges. Bake in oven preheated to 350 for 18-22 minutes or until lightly golden.

While crust is baking, whisk together brown sugar and salt. Add eggs and vanilla. Add corn and maple syrups. Stir in pecans. Pour filling over hot crust and bake an additional 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before cutting.

Easy Granola

8 cups oats

2 cups shredded or flaked coconut

2 cups chopped nuts

1 1/2 cup brown sugar

1 cup water

3/4 cup oil (I use coconut)

1 T. cinnamon

1 t. almond extract

optional: dried fruit added after baking

Preheat oven to 325. Combine oats, coconut, and nuts in a large mixing bowl. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil then simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Pour syrup over oat mixture and mix until well coated. Pour into two shallow baking pans and spread out. Bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until the mixture is evenly browned. Remove and cool on pans without stirring to maintain clumpiness. Store in an airtight container (or freeze for longer storage).
