BAVARIAN TORTE BARS
A friend brought this to a potluck quite a few years ago, and her plate was the first of the desserts to be completely emptied. It is cheesecake-like in texture but is served as a bar. I am a chocoholic so a non-chocolate dessert has to be extra special to "wow" me. This one did the trick. I usually double the recipe, since the 8X8 pan is not enough for my family and friends. I share the recipe as she gave it to me so I am guessing at the serving size.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare crust by creaming butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add vanilla, flour and almonds.
- Press crust into 8x8 square pan (I use glass).
- Pierce crust all over with fork and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- Meanwhile prepare filling by beating cream cheese until lumps are removed and add sugar.
- Continue to beat for about 1 minute and then add egg and vanilla.
- Beat until well combined.
- Spread filling over crust.
- Thinly slice drained pears lengthwise and arrange over cream cheese, slightly overlapping each slice in neat rows.
- Sprinkle cinnamon sugar topping over the top.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling has puffed up a little bit and almost set.
- Cool completely and refrigerate until cold (at least 3 hours, overnight is recommended).
- Slice into squares to serve.
