@Nightowlz That recipe looks and sounds very good but it appears to be more of a cake than a bar.

@NightowlzThe recipe I was looking for had a pie crust involved, but not a pie. I have found many recipes for pumpkin bars, thanks though.

This is the closest I could find involving a pie crust:

The ultimate holiday pie bar [apple, pecan and pumpkin pie bar]

Author: MissFingerFoodie.com

DESCRIPTION

This 3-in-1 pie bar that includes cinnamon apples, crunch and richness from pecans and notes of pumpkin all in one bite is bound to be a staple at your dessert table this holiday season. All of this deliciousness sits on top of a fool-proof cinnamon shortbread.

INGREDIENTS FOR THE CRUST

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 sticks Kerrygold butter, softened
1/2 cup dark brown sugar (light brown sugar would work if that is all you have on hand)
2 TBSP Vanilla extract
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp Kosher salt

FOR THE TOPPING

APPLE LAYER:

1 Large Honey crisp apple, diced (about 1 1/4 cups)
2 TBSP Kerrygold butter
2 tsp cinnamon

PECAN LAYER:

1 cup pecans (I measured before I put them in the food processor), finely chopped
1 cup pecans, whole

PUMPKIN LAYER:

3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk (one 14oz can will be more than enough)
1/2 cup canned pumpkin pie mix (NOTE: You want to be sure to get the pie MIX, not just the puree. The pumpkin pie mix is already sweetened with sugar and contains all the spices you want).
3/4 cup Hershey’s mini cinnamon baking chips

TOPPING:

1/4 cup Hershey’s mini cinnamon baking chips
1 tsp coconut oil
Maldon flaked sea salt, optional…but highly encouraged.

INSTRUCTIONS PREP THE CRUST

Preheat the oven to 375°F
In a food processor (or in a medium sized bowl if you do not have a food processor), combine all crust ingredients and pulse until a dough forms.
Using the palm of your hands or the bottom of a large glass, press the dough into a parchment lined 9×13 dish.
Take a fork and “dock” the crust, aka poke holes throughout the dough to ensure that it bakes evenly and does not puff up. Parbake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

PREP THE TOPPINGS

In a small bowl, microwave the 2 TBSP of butter until melted, about 30 seconds.
Peel, core and dice the apple. Combine with cinnamon in the small bowl and mix until the butter is evenly distributed.
In the food processor (or with a knife), take 1 cup of the pecans and pulse until finely chopped. Set aside.
Whisk together the pumpkin pie mix and sweetened condensed milk. Set aside.

PUT TOGETHER

Once the crust is parbaked, top with the apples. Then, layer the crushed pecans down and top with the whole pecans.
Sprinkle the cinnamon chips on top of the pecans, then finish off by evenly pouring the pumpkin pie mixture over top.
Take a knife and carefully swirl around the pumpkin pie mixture to ensure that it seeps down throughout all the toppings. This is the “glue” to the bar.
Bake at 375 for 27-30 minutes. They will still be gooey at this point!
Let the bars set in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight.

FINISH

Cut the bars into 24 squares. Cutting them before the drizzle ensures that the drizzle does not get messed up. Refer to the notes below on cutting.
In a microwave safe bowl, combine 1/4 cup cinnamon chips and 1 tsp coconut oil. Microwave until fully melted in 20 second increments, mixing after each increment.
Pour the mixture into the corner of a plastic baggie and snip the end off. Drizzle the cinnamon “sauce” over the bars and finish it off by sprinkling the sea salt.

NOTES

To ensure that the cuts are nice and clean, hold your knife under hot running water before making each cut. This will essentially melt the butter and cut through the bars a lot easier.

@KingstonsMomThanks but I don't think it was that involved. Oh well, I'll keep looking in my recipe file.
