How to Make Bavarian Torte Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened butter and 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, and 1/2 cup (60g) slivered almonds.
- Press the crust evenly into an 8x8 inch baking pan.
- Pierce the crust all over with a fork and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- While the crust cools, beat 16 ounces (450g) cream cheese until smooth and lump-free.
- Add 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar and beat for about 1 minute.
- Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Beat until well combined.
- Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cooled crust.
- Thinly slice 2-3 ripe but firm pears lengthwise and arrange them neatly over the cream cheese filling, slightly overlapping the slices in rows.
- Sprinkle generously with a cinnamon sugar topping (mix 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is puffed and almost set.
- Cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled.
- Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
