Pumpkin Pie Bars Ingredients:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs

- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated, then press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust.
- In another large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until smooth.
- Gradually add the evaporated milk, whisking until well combined.
- Pour the pumpkin filling over the crust in the baking pan and spread it evenly.
