Cherry Pie Bars Recipe
These Cherry Pie Bars are a delightful twist on a classic dessert, combining the nostalgic flavors of cherry pie with the convenience of handheld bars. With a buttery, crumbly crust and a luscious cherry filling, every bite is a perfect balance of sweet and tart.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 21 ounces cherry pie filling, 1 can
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 Tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar.
- Add eggs, vanilla, and almond extract and beat well.
- Add flour and salt to the creamed mixture and mix until combined.
- Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking pan and spread about 3/4 of the batter in the bottom and be sure to spread to the very edge of the pan.
- If the dough is sticky, spray your finger tips with non stick cooking spray. Spread the pie filling over the batter.
- Drop remaining batter on top of pie filling in teaspoonful amounts. I did about 35 small spoonfuls of batter over the cherry filling to make the top crust.
- Bake for about 35 minutes or until toothpick comes clean.
- Glaze
- Combine powdered sugar, vanilla, almond extract and milk until smooth and then drizzle over the bars.
