Ingredients

3 cups flour
1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar, divided
1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
1 cup butter, melted
3 pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 tsp. vanilla
1-1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
3 eggs
1 Tbsp. powdered sugar

Steps:

Heat oven to 350°F.
Line 13x9-inch pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides. Spray with cooking spray.
Combine flour, 1 cup brown sugar, cinnamon and butter. Reserve 1-1/2 cups flour mixture for later use; press remaining flour mixture onto bottom of prepared pan. Bake 20 min.
Meanwhile, beat cream cheese and remaining brown sugar in large bowl with mixer until blended. Add pumpkin, vanilla and pumpkin pie spice; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended.
Pour cream cheese mixture over crust; sprinkle with reserved flour mixture.
Bake 35 to 40 min. or until center is almost set. Cool completely.
Refrigerate 4 hours. Sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving. Use foil handles to remove dessert from pan before cutting into bars.
