Yield: 4 servings

Servings: persons

FOR THE SHORTBREAD:
1 cup All-purpose Flour
1/3 cups Packed Brown Sugar
1/2 cups Softened Butter
_____
FOR THE PECAN TOPPING:
1 whole Egg
1/3 cups Packed Brown Sugar
3 Tablespoons Pure Maple Syrup
1/2 cups Chopped Pecans

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2
For the shortbread, combine the flour and brown sugar in a mixer. Beat in the butter until well combined. The mixture will be quite crumbly. Press into the bottom of an ungreased 8x8 baking dish. Prick all over with a fork.
3
Bake until the shortbread is browned, about 20 minutes.
4
While the shortbread is baking, beat the egg, brown sugar, and maple syrup for the pecan layer until well combined. Stir in the nuts. (You can add in up to 3/4 of a cup of nuts if you'd like more. You can also add in 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon of maple flavoring if you'd like a more pronounced maple flavor.) Pour the pecan mixture over the hot shortbread crust and return to the oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the pecan mixture has firmed up.
5
Remove from the oven and immediately run a knife around the edges to prevent it from sticking to the sides of the dish. Cool completely before cutting.
