Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 cups peeled and diced pears

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and softened butter. Mix until crumbly.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  4. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden.
  5. While the crust bakes, combine dark brown sugar, 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs, flour, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and baking powder in the same bowl.
  6. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until a thick batter forms.
  7. Gently fold in the diced pears.
  8. Spread the pear filling evenly over the pre-baked crust.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set.
  10. Let the pear bars cool completely before cutting.

Notes

  • For best results, use firm but ripe pears like Bosc or Bartlett.
  • Ensure pears are well-drained if using canned or frozen.
  • Pre-baking the crust is essential to prevent sogginess.
  • These bars freeze well for up to three months.
