Pumpkin Pie Bars is the perfect easy fall or Thanksgiving dessert recipe! Made with spices, butter, cream cheese, and a cake mix crust, this layered cheesecake-like dessert has much rich flavor.
Mix together the ½ cup melted butter, boxed spice cake mix, and 1 egg. Press mixture in the bottom of a prepared pan sprayed with cooking spray. (it will be thick, almost like a cookie dough.)
In another large bowl, beat pumpkin puree, cream cheese, teaspoon vanilla extract, cinnamon, and butter together with a hand mixer. Beat eggs in a small bowl and mix them in. Mix powdered sugar in just enough to incorporate well.
Spread this pumpkin mixture on top of the spice cake mixture in your pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour (give or take 5 minutes depending on your oven). Let cool in the baking dish for at least 30 minutes (if you can wait :)). Serve warm with whipped cream.
