Not only are pumpkin pie bars the perfect way to feed your hungry crowd on Thanksgiving, they are also so much easier to make than a traditional pie. No crust chilling. No crimping. Just a quick press into the pan and your crust will be ready to go. Way less time, way more glory. The crust is more similar to a shortbread crust, but the filling is just like the one you know and love. You can sub the spices with your own homemade pumpkin pie spice, if you like! Just don't forget the dollops of whipped cream!
