My sister-in-law brought this pretty pastry to dinner one night, and we all went back for seconds. It is truly scrumptious. —Kathryn Rogers, Suisun City, California

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts
FILLING:
1 package (8 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 can (15 ounces) reduced-sugar sliced pears, drained well and thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°. Beat butter, sugar and cinnamon until crumbly. Beat in flour and walnuts. Press onto bottom and up side of a 9-in. fluted tart pan with a removable bottom coated with cooking spray.
For filling, beat cream cheese and 1/4 cup sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Spread into crust. Arrange pears over top. Mix cinnamon and remaining sugar; sprinkle over pears.
