Steps:
- Cream butter thoroughly.
- Add sugar and beat well.
- Add eggs, one at a time, and vanilla.
- Sift flour with baking powder and salt.
- Add sifted dry ingredients gradually, beating well.
- Spread on a large 11x17 inch greased pan, saving a little more than a cup of batter on the side.
- Add almond extract to cherry pie filling, then spread filling to within half an inch from edge of pan.
- Place remaining dough by spoonfuls over filling.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes.
- When cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
- Cut into slices or squares before serving.
Tips:
- Ensure your oven is preheated before baking the slices, and line baking trays with baking paper for easy removal.
- To achieve a crisp base, firmly press the biscuit mixture into the pan before adding the filling.
- For a smooth and creamy filling, use softened cream cheese; chilling it beforehand will make spreading easier.
- If you prefer a tangy filling, add a tablespoon of lemon juice or orange zest to the cream cheese mixture.
- Instead of cherry pie filling, try using other fruit fillings such as apple, blueberry, or raspberry.
- For a festive touch, sprinkle some chopped nuts or dried cranberries over the filling before baking.
- Once baked, allow the slices to cool completely before cutting and serving. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
