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.
