This is one of my favorite fall desserts. It’s soooo good when it’s warm out of the oven!

1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
Preparation:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Line a 13×9-inch baking pan with foil (overlapping the sides of the pan with foil so you can easily remove the bars later). Grease the foil lining.

4. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5. Stir in the pecans and oats, reserving 1 cup of the oat mixture.

7. Beat the eggs, cream cheese, pumpkin, remaining 1/2 cup sugar and pumpkin pie spice until well blended.
8. Pour over the crust and sprinkle with the reserved crumb mixture.
9. Bake for about 25 minute
10. Lift from the pan using foil handles; allow to cool completely.
