Description

The perfect fall dessert! Shortbread crust covered with gooey and delicious bourbon pecan pie filling.


Ingredients

Scale

Shortbread Crust Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cups (1.5 sticks) cold salted butter, cubed

Filling Ingredients:

3 large eggs
1 cup dark corn syrup (or 1 cup honey!)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cups brown sugar
3 Tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar Bourbon
2 cups halved pecans
1/4 teaspoon salt


Instructions

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×13 dish well with butter, and line with parchment paper so that it hangs over the two long sides of the pan.

Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, and whisk until combined. Add the cold butter, and rub in with your fingers until it resembles bread crumbs. Sprinkle evenly into the baking dish, and press into the bottom. Bake for 20 minutes or until it’s set.

While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. Lightly whisk the eggs in the large mixing bowl you used for the crust. Add the remaining ingredients, corn syrup (or honey), through salt. Mix together with a spatula until combined.

Pour the filling over the crust when it’s done baking (no need for it to cool), and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the middle is set. Allow to cool completely before serving, and store covered at room temperature. Use a knife to cut around the edges of the pan to remove. Enjoy!


Notes

Don’t care for corn syrup? Replace it with honey!
