Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and butter; using your hands, mix until crumbly. Stir in the nuts. Press 2 3/4 cups of the crumb mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 9- by 13-inch baking dish.

Add the cinnamon, baking soda, salt, yogurt, vanilla, and egg to the remaining crumbly mixture; mix well. Stir in the pears then spoon evenly over the crumb bottom.

Bake for 40 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 1 hour. Cut into squares and serve.
