• Eggs
• Vanilla extract
• Almond extract
• Flour

• Cherry pie filling

How To Make Our Cherry Pie Bars Recipe:

When you are ready to begin making these tasty cherry pie bars, start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.

Then in a large mixing bowl cream together the butter and sugar until they are completely combined.

Next add in the eggs, vanilla extract, almond extract, and continue beating the mixture together.

Once those are well combined, add in the flour and salt to wet ingredients and continue mixing it all together.

When it is completely mixed together, get out your 9×13 inch pan and spray it with nonstick cooking spray, and pour the batter into the bottom of the pan.

Spread out ¾ of the dough evenly until it reaches all of the edges of the pan. If the dough is sticky, you can spray your hand with nonstick cooking spray and continue to press it down and spread it out.

Now, open the can of cherry pie filling and spread it out as evenly as you can over top of the bottom layer.

Once the pie filling is set, drop the rest of the batter by teaspoonfulls over the batter trying to cover as much of the pie filling as possible.

Then place the pan in the oven and let it bake for about 35 minutes or until you can insert a toothpick and have it come out clean.

While that is baking, you can make up the glaze that goes on top.

Combine the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract, and milk in a medium sized mixing bowl and use a hand mixer to mix it all together.

Once it has reached a smooth consistency it is good to go!

Then just drizzle it over the bars once they are done cooking and let everything cool down.
