Ingredients
Crust
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 stick butter, cut into pieces
Filling
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup maple syrup or pancake syrup
- 2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups pecan pieces (you could also use a mixture of pecans, walnuts, cashews or almonds)
Here's how to make it:
- To make the crust, combine the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Using a pastry blender or a fork, incorporate the butter pieces until coarse crumbs form. Press the mixture into a square baking pan that's been lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 15 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
- To make the filling, put the butter, brown sugar and maple syrup into a saucepan. Stir until the butter and brown sugar melt together. Bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute. Turn off the heat and pour in the cream. Stir until combined. Add the pecans. Pour the mixture into the crust and spread evenly.
- Bake for another 25 to 30 minutes. Remove and allow to cool for at least 1 hour before removing and cutting into squares.
