Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1 can (21 ounces) Cherry Pie Filling
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Almond Extract
- 2-3 tablespoons Milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Cream together the butter and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add in the flour and salt, mixing until just combined.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the greased baking pan.
- Spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the dough.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

- Allow the bars to cool completely before drizzling the almond glaze on top, then cut them into squares and serve.
Notes
For a tropical twist, swap out the cherry filling for pineapple or raspberry. Serve warm topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
