Directions:
For crust, cream butter and sugar together. Beat in the flour and vanilla until combined. Stir in the nuts and press into a greased 8-inch square baking pan. Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.

For filling, increase oven temperature to 375 F. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, egg and vanilla; mix until combined. Pour over crust. Cut pears into 1/8" slices and arrange in a single layer over the filling. Combine sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over pears. Bake at 375 F for 28-30 minutes (center will be soft set and will become firmer upon cooling). Cool on a wire rack for 45 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting. Store in refrigerator.

One of Taste of Home's contest winners. These bars are unbelievably good. Be sure to give yourself enough time to chill them adequately.
