- If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
- For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the crust tough.
- Bake the squares until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Let the squares cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
