Equipment
- 9 x 13 baking dish
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cold butter cubed
- 1-3/4 cups sugar divided
- 1 29 oz Pure pumpkin puree
- 2 12 oz evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- Whipped cream and additional ground cinnamon optional
Instructions
- Line a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with parchment paper letting some paper hang over the edge so it’s easy to pull the bars out once baked.
- In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup sugar and flour. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the dough into the bottom of the pan an even layer with your fingers.
- Combine remaining sugar, salt and pumpkin pie spice in small bowl. Beat eggs lightly in large bowl. Stir in pumpkin and sugar-spice mixture. Gradually stir in evaporated milk.
- Bake at 425° for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350° and bake 50-55 minutes longer or until filling is set.
- Cool on a wire rack. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. Use the parchment paper to lift out the pie, then cut into bars.
- If desired, top with whipped cream and sprinkle with additional cinnamon.
