- 1. In a mixing bowl cream butter and sugar. Beat in the flour and vanilla until well combined. Stir in the macadamia nuts. In a well greased 8-inch square baking dish, press the the crust evenly in pan. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.
- 2. Increase oven temperature to 375. In a mixing bowl beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, egg and vanilla, mixing until well combined and smooth. Pour over warm crust. Cut pears into 1/8" slices and arrange in a single layer over the filling. Combine the sugar and cinnamon then sprinkle evenly over the pears. Bake for 28-30 minutes. The center will be soft set and will firm up as it cools. Cool on a wire rack for 45 minutes or until completely cooled. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or over night before cutting. Store left over bars in the refrigerator.
Tips:
- Use ripe pears: The riper the pears, the sweeter and more flavorful your bars will be.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bars until the center is just set: Overbaking the bars will make them dry. Insert a toothpick into the center of the bars. If it comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, the bars are done.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will prevent them from falling apart.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
