Equipment

Ingredients

For the Crust and Topping

  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Can substitute with salted butter by omitting added salt.
  • 1.5 cups All-Purpose Flour No substitutions needed for texture.
  • 0.75 cup Granulated Sugar Can swap for brown sugar for deeper flavor.
  • 0.5 cup Sliced Almonds Feel free to use pecans or walnuts as a substitute.
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt Can be omitted if using salted butter.

Instructions

  • Prepare the Pan: Line a 9x9” baking pan with foil and lightly spray it with cooking spray.
  • Make the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, flour, sugar, sliced almonds, and salt. Press firmly into the bottom of your prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes until light golden brown.
  • Cook the Pears: Place diced pears in a saucepan with just enough water to cover them. Simmer for about 5 minutes until translucent; then, drain well.
  • Make the Topping: In the same bowl, blend softened butter with sugar until creamy. Gradually stir in flour, sliced almonds, and a pinch of salt until crumbly.
  • Assemble Bars: Mix drained pears with cinnamon and sugar. Layer this mixture over the baked crust, then scatter the topping. Bake for an additional 22-27 minutes.
  • Cool and Serve: Allow to cool completely before slicing. Serve with caramel sauce or ice cream if desired.

Notes

For a memorable treat, drizzle with caramel sauce or top with ice cream.
