If you love traditional pumpkin pie<\/a> but don’t want to prepare and roll out a homemade pie crust, then you need to try these pumpkin pie bars instead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of pie dough, the crust is made using a shortbread dough that’s incredibly easy to make. It’s rich and buttery, and all you have to do is press it into the bottom of your baking pan. No complicated crimping of edges required!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you’ve prepared and baked the crust, simply whisk together the pumpkin pie mixture, pour it on top, and bake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hardest part of making this recipe is really just waiting for the bars to cool and chill before digging in. I personally love to make them the night before, so they’re ready to serve when it’s time for dessert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
