~ Cherry Pie Bars ~ image

Another of my favorite desserts that comes from my Gram. I added the addition of almonds and sugar on top. I'm sure there are many other recipes similar to this posted, but I figure you can never have too much of a good thing.:) Delicious with ice cream or alone. Enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 c sugar
1 c butter, room temp
3 eggs
pinch salt
1 tsp vanilla extract or almond
2 c flour
1 - 21 oz can, cherry pie filling
handful sliced almonds - optional

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 baking dish. In a large bowl, cream sugar and butter until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla. Beat in flour and salt, until thoroughly blended.
  • 2. Spread 1/2 of the batter into bottom of prepared dish. I use my offset knife for this. Could use floured fingers to spread. Spread cherries evenly over batter.
  • 3. Add the remaining batter in dabs over the cherries. I then sprinkle with some sugar and a handful of sliced almonds.
  • 4. Place in oven and bake for 40 - 45 minutes or until batter is cooked through.
  • 5. Cool on rack , then when read to serve I cut into squares. Delicious with ice cream. Enjoy!
