Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup butter, softened
1 ¾ cups white sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the dough and spread the rest into the bottom of the prepared pan. Cover this layer evenly with cherry pie filling. Drop the rest of the dough by spoonfuls on top of the cherry layer and spread to cover the best you can.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until top is golden. Frost with a confectioners' glaze when cool for sweeter bars. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.

I love the combination of cherries and almonds in these bars. The almonds add a nice crunch and flavor to the bars.

These cherry bars are a great way to use up leftover cherries. I had a bunch of cherries left over from a pie I made, and these bars were the perfect way to use them up.
