Description
These Easy Sheet Pan Pecan Pie Bars capture all the indulgent richness of a traditional pecan pie—without the fuss. A buttery shortbread crust supports a gooey, nutty filling that’s perfect for sharing at parties, holidays, or whenever you crave a classic Southern treat in a grab-and-go format.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup brown sugar, packed
4 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups chopped pecans
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 10×15-inch sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes or until lightly golden.
4. While crust bakes, whisk together brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl until smooth.
5. Stir in chopped pecans until fully coated.
6. Pour the pecan filling over the hot crust and spread evenly.
7. Bake for 25–30 minutes until the center is set and doesn’t jiggle.
8. Cool completely on a wire rack, then lift from the pan using parchment paper.
9. Slice into bars and serve.
Notes
For clean cuts, chill the bars slightly before slicing, then use a sharp serrated knife.
You can substitute dark corn syrup for a deeper, molasses-like flavor.
Add a tablespoon of bourbon or a handful of chocolate chips for a delicious twist.
