Maplepecanpiebars Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine flour and confectioners' sugar. Cut in the butter until crumbly. Press into a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake until edges are lightly browned, 12-15 minutes., Meanwhile, in a large heavy saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, syrup, cinnamon and salt. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir over low heat until butter is melted. Stir in pecans, cream and vanilla. Remove from the heat; spread over crust., Bake until bubbly, 20-25 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars.

Steps:

• For crust:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 9x9x2-inch metal cake pan. Using electric mixer, beat butter, sugar, and egg yolk in bowl to blend. Add flour and salt; beat until moist clumps form. Gather dough together. Press dough over bottom and 1/2 inch up sides of pan. Bake crust until golden, about 20 minutes. Cool.
• For filling:
• Combine first 4 ingredients in medium saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring until butter melts and mixture is smooth. Boil filling 30 seconds. Remove from heat; mix in vanilla, then nuts.
• Pour hot filling into crust. Bake bars until filling is bubbling in center, about 15 minutes. Cool bars completely in pan on rack (filling will become firm). Chill at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and keep chilled.) Cut into 30 bars.

Steps:

• Dough: Whisk together flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add butter, tossing to evenly coat. Rub butter between fingers and thumbs, continuing to toss with flour until mixture has texture of coarse sand. Sprinkle evenly with ice water and stir with hands, gently kneading a few times, just until a dough forms. Flatten into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 12-inch round. Transfer to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim excess, leaving a 1-inch overhang, then fold edges under. Crimp edges as desired. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Filling: Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, syrup, and flour and cook, stirring constantly, just until mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined, about 1 minute. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Whisk together milk, eggs, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl. Slowly add warm butter mixture, whisking constantly, until smooth. Pour filling into pie shell, then arrange pecans evenly on top.
• Bake until pie is puffed and set along edges but still wobbly in center when gently shaken, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. (Loosely tent pie with foil if top darkens too quickly.) Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Steps:

• Base: Preheat oven to 350 degrees to cook cookie base.
• Rub the flour, sugar and butter together in bowl, mix well and press firmly into 8 x 10" pan.
• Bake for 5 minutes.
• Remove from oven and set aside.
• Topping: Combine sugar and syrup in pot.
• Simmer on stove for 5 minutes.
• Cool and pour over the beaten eggs.
• Stirring well add the remaining ingredients.
• Pour over the partially baked dough and bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes.
• Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue to bake for 20 minutes longer.
• Cool and cut into squares-- enjoy-- enjoy-- enjoy.

Steps:

• To make the crust, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. Line the bottom of the pan with aluminum foil, and lightly grease the foil. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. With the machine running, add the butter pieces and continue to process until the mixture resembles very fine, moist crumbs. The mixture won't come completely together in the processor.
• Turn the crumbs out onto the prepared baking sheet and using your hands, gently press to form a smooth, even layer. Bake until the crust is a light golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Set aside.
• While the crust is baking, combine the butter, brown sugar, maple and corn syrups in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter has melted and the mixture is completely combined and smooth. Cook one additional minute, then remove from heat and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, vanilla and salt. Slowly whisk in about 1/4 cup of the warm sugar mixture to temper the eggs. Slowly whisk in another 1/4 cup, then slowly stir in the rest. When fully combined, stir in the pecans.
• Pour the pecan mixture over the prepared crust. Return to the oven and bake until the pecan mixture is bubbling and jiggles when gently tapped, an additional 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and place the sheet on a rack to cool completely. Lift the foil from the sheet to get the bars out of the pan. Cut into squares. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on at least 2 sides. Spray the parchment paper with baking spray.
• Combine flour, butter, powdered sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse 6 or 7 times to combine. Transfer mixture to the lined pan and press into an even layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack.
• Combine eggs, brown sugar, melted butter, flour, and salt together in a large bowl. Mix in syrup until well combined. Stir in pecans. Pour over the still-warm shortbread crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until filling is set, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely in the pan for at least 1 hour. Run a knife around the edge of the pan and pull out using the parchment overhang. Slice into bars.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine the flour and 1/3 cup brown sugar in a mixer. Mix in the softened butter until a dough has formed. Press into an ungreased 8x8-inch baking dish, and prick with a fork.
• Bake the shortbread in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. While the shortbread is baking, beat the egg in a mixing bowl along with 1/3 cup brown sugar, maple syrup, and pecans. Pour the pecan mixture over the hot crust, and return to the oven. Continue baking until firmed, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, and immediately run a knife around the edges to prevent sticking. Cool completely, then cut into 1-inch squares to serve.
