Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.

  2. Prepare Crust: In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, margarine, and sugar until smooth.

  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Beat in the all-purpose flour and vanilla extract until well combined.

  4. Incorporate Nuts: Stir in the nuts until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

  5. Press into Pan: Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the greased baking pan to form an even crust.

  6. Bake Crust: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned.

  7. Cool: Remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack while you prepare the filling.

  8. Prepare Filling: Increase the oven temperature to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.

  9. Add Ingredients: To the cream cheese, add the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.

  10. Pour Over Crust: Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.

  11. Prepare Pears: Slice the pears into 1/8 inch slices and arrange them in a single layer over the cream cheese filling.

  12. Sprinkle Topping: In a small bowl, combine the remaining sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the sliced pears.

  13. Bake Again: Place the pan back in the oven and bake at 375ยฐF (190ยฐC) for 28-30 minutes, or until the center is soft set and will become firmer upon cooling.

  14. Cool Again: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool on a wire rack for 45 minutes.

  15. Refrigerate: Cover the pan and refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours before cutting into squares.

  16. Serve: Once chilled, cut into bars and serve. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
