Pumpkin Pie Squares

Happy Thanksgiving! Here is a really good pumpkin bar recipe. It is one of my favorites.













Crust:
1 C. flour
1/2 C. butter
1/2 C. quick oats
1/2 C. brown sugar

Filling:
1 lb. canned pumpkin (2 c.)
1 tall can evaporate milk (13 oz.)
2 eggs
3/4 C. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. cloves
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. ginger

Topping:
1/2 C. pecans, chopped
1/2 C. brown sugar
2 T. butter

Combine ingredients for crust in mixing bowl. Mix until crumbly at low speed. Press into a 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.

Combine ingredients for filling; beat well. Pour over baked crust. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.

Combine ingredients for topping; sprinkle over pumpkin filling. Return to oven and bake 15 to 20 minutes more or until set. Cool in pan. Makes 2 dozen (2 inch.) squares. I added whipped cream and cinnamon to the top of mine.
