Pear and Walnut Pie Bars

Pear and Walnut Pie Bars are a delicious dessert that combines the sweetness of pears with the nuttiness of walnuts. This recipe is perfect for those who love to bake and want to impress their guests with a unique and tasty treat.
To make these Pear and Walnut Pie Bars, you will need the following ingredients:

For the crust:

- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg yolk

For the filling:

- 3 ripe pears, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt for the crust. Add in the cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add in the egg yolk and mix until the dough comes together.
Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and bake for 15 minutes. While the crust is baking, prepare the filling by mixing together the sliced pears, chopped walnuts, sugars, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and egg.
Once the crust has baked for 15 minutes, remove it from the oven and pour the filling over the top. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Once the Pear and Walnut Pie Bars are finished baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely before slicing and serving. These bars are perfect for a fall dessert or a sweet treat any time of year.
