Pumpkin Pie Squares Recipe
These Pumpkin Pie Squares bake in one pan: a brown sugar oat crust, a smooth spiced pumpkin filling, and a pecan topping. The malzemeleri are simple, and the nasıl yapılır is just mix, press, pour, and bake for neat, sliceable squares.
Ingredients
1. For the crust
2. For the filling
3. For the topping
Step-by-Step Method
Preheat and prep the pan
Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a square baking pan or line it with parchment so the bars lift out easily.
Mix the crust
Stir flour, oats, and brown sugar in a bowl. Add cold butter and margarine, then rub in with your fingertips until the mixture looks crumbly and holds when pressed.
Press in
Tip the crust mixture into the pan and press it down firmly into an even layer, including the corners.
Whisk the filling
Whisk pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, egg, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt until smooth. Keep it simple—just mix until combined.
Pour and bake
Pour the filling over the crust. Bake for about 70–85 minutes; the center can have a slight jiggle, and it will set as it cools.
Add the topping
During the last 10–15 minutes, mix brown sugar, chopped pecans, and the melted butter+margarine. Sprinkle over the top and return to the oven until lightly toasted.
Cool, chill, and slice
Let the pan cool for 30 minutes at room temperature, then chill for at least 1 hour for clean cuts. Slice into squares with a sharp knife.
