Pumpkin Pie Bars

This is a Kraft foods recipe.  I love to make this dessert around this time of year.

1-1/3 cups flour

3/4 cup sugar, divided

1/2 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) cold butter or margarine

1 cup old fashioned or quick-cooking oats, uncooked

1/2 cup chopped pecans

1 pkg. 8oz cream cheese, softened

3 eggs

1 can (15oz) pumpkin

1 Tbsp. pumpkin pie spice

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Line 13 x 9 pan with foil, with ends of the foil extending over sides, grease foil.  Mix flour, 1/4 sugar and brown sugar in medium bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.  Stir in oats and nuts.  Reserve 1 cup oat mixture; press remaining onto bottom of prepared pan.  Bake 15 min. 

Beat cream cheese, remaining sugar, eggs, pumpkin and spice with mixer until well blended.  Pour over crust; sprinkle with reserved crumb oat mixture.  Bake 25 mins.  Cool 10 mins.  Use foil to transfer dessert from pan to wire rack; cool completely.
