Banana Pecan Caramel Dessert

Ingredients:

• For the Base:
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
• For the Filling:
  • 3-4 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Prepare the Base:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix until the mixture forms a crumbly dough.
   • Press the dough evenly into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

   • In a medium saucepan, melt the 1/2 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat.
   • Add the packed brown sugar and stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
   • Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly.
   • Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Assemble the Dessert:
   • Arrange the sliced bananas evenly over the baked crust.
   • Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the bananas.
   • Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the bananas and pecans.
4. Bake the Dessert:
   • Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the caramel is bubbly and the bananas are soft.
