Pumpkin Caramel Crumb Bars! || Autumn InstaParty

How are y’all enjoying the Autumn InstaPary?!???? I’m having so much fun sharing the excitement with y’all. BUUuuut you can’t have a party without a sweet treat. ? The house is filled with the smell of pumpkin spice and everything nice as a pan of my favorite autumn sweet bar comes out of the oven!  My Pumpkin Caramel Crumb Bar recipe is super quick to whip up and outrageously delicious!! Y’all… DON’T WAIT to make these.  Plus, the leftovers make a pretty fantastic breakfast! ;)  Buttery shortbread crust, creamy pumpkin filling, finished off with a shortbread crumb topping and sweet caramel drizzle. These bars are fantastic eaten right away and(a bonus) they are even better next day. Give them a try! ?

ingredients

Shortbread Crust/crumb

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) Butter very soft
  • 2 cup all-purpose Flour
  • 2/3 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoon pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Filling

  • 2 TBS light corn syrup
  • 1 TBS water
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, very soft
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 can (8 oz) Pumpkin Puree
  • 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon

Topping

  • 1 Jar Caramel Sauce

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment set aside!
  2. Shortbread Crust –In large mixing bowl combine  all shortbread ingredients and beat on low speed until combined and a dough forms(about 3 to 4 minutes)! Turn half of the dough out into prepared pan in an even, smooth, flat layer, using a spatula or your fingers(lightly floured) to smooth it! Put remaining shortbread dough into refrigerator for later! Poke crust with fork for even baking. Bake for 12 to 13 minutes, or until crust has just barely set. It should not be golden or browned and should still be white, but crusted over and set. While crust bakes, make the filling.
  3. Filling – To a small bowl, add the corn syrup, water, vanilla, and stir to combine; set aside. To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add the butter, sugar, salt, and beat on medium-high speed until smooth and combined, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the eggs, and beat on medium-high speed until smooth and combined, about 2 minutes. Scrape the sides of the bowl, add the flour,  pumpkin puree, and  the corn syrup and water, and beat on low speed until smooth and combined, about 1 minute!
  4. Turn filling out over crust in an even, smooth, flat layer, using a spatula to smooth it. Crumble the remaining shortbread dough on top of pumpkin layer(I love big crumbs but you can make it smaller depending on your preference)! Bake for about 23 to 25 minutes, or until edges have set, the center is set (a slight jiggle is fine), and the top has a few light golden brown spots. Allow to cool slightly then drizzle generously with caramel!
  5. Serve warm with icecream and enjoy!

** NOTE: cornsyrup can be replaced with white sugar and it tastes just as delicious!!

”  Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!”
Psalm 31:19

How gorgeous is Heather looking in her Charcoal Stripe Stretch Cecily headwrap?!✨ Love this. Thank you for the BEAUTIFUL photo, Heather!!❤️


So enjoyed Michaela’s Autumn InstaParty submission!! She says, “Hello! I’m Michaela! Lover of long walks, strong black coffee {I’m a bit of a coffee snob… ;) }, and most importantly, Jesus. My favorite parts of fall are the changing leaves and the wonderful smells– bonfires and pumpkin and cinnamon and crisp clean air! I’m always reminded in the fall that there is a season for everything–even change. As the leaves change color, they seem to whisper, “Let go, o soul. Trust in Him. There is beauty to be found in the change.” God is so merciful, it leaves me so incredibly humbled… My favorite Bible verse is 1 Peter 5:10 which reads: “And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.” Oh goodness… How good our God is that He HIMSELF will restore us… The fall is such an especially wonderful time to revel in His promises to us before the Christmas season is upon us :)” She’s styling her Katherine’s Coffee Shop Lace Headwrap +  Cappuccino Stretch Lace Cecily to perfection! Thank you so much, Michaela! ?

Aimee + Sophia styling their Garlands of Grace Headwraps (and Charlie the cat :D)! Love these photos so much. Aimee says, “Sophia loves fall! Her favorite things about this season are pumpkin patches and Apple orchards. She loves pumpkin pie, pumpkin flavored ice cream and iced coffee. Really pumpkin anything!” Aimee’s favorite verses for any season are Habakkuk 3:17-19! Beautiful!

We always love seeing how Tasha styles her Garlands of Grace Hairwraps. She’s wearing the Classic COWL in Plum  + Cappuccino Lace Cowl and looking absolutely lovely!
