Why You'll Want This Again
These blondies combine the warm spices of pumpkin pie with a rich, buttery base. They offer a perfect balance of sweet and spice, making them a cozy treat for fall or any time you crave something comforting. Everyone will love the soft, chewy texture and festive flavors.
Directions
Warm your oven to 375°F (190°C) and greasing a 9x13-inch pan so nothing sticks. Press the pie crust into the pan, trying to keep it as even as you can—don't worry if some spots are a little thin. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time until everything is well combined. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt. Add this dry mix to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the butterscotch chips and pecans, then spread the batter evenly over the pie crust. Bake for about 25 to 35 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Once cooled a bit, sprinkle some powdered sugar on top for a nice finishing touch.
