Cherry Pie Bars

 Nothing says love like pie!  I am not usually known for my pie making capabilities. Just thinking about rolling out pie crust and making the filling wears me out.  But I have a solution! Who’s your buddy? Who’s your pie pal!   You can have your pie and never have to worry about breaking out that rolling pin!

These are so simple and delicious, not to mention easy to make.    Just the way we love our recipes around here!

Cherry Pie Bars Cut Up On Baking Sheet

NOTES:

  • Don’t stress over the pan.  If you don’t have a jelly roll type sheet pan than a 9 x 13 cake or casserole pan will do the trick.
  • To help you gauge how much 3/4 of the batter is.  I just mark the batter in the bowl with a big cross and take out 3/4, leaving 1/4.
  • To make your glaze go on all pretty and stuff.  Put it in a ziplock baggie and cut a small tip on the end.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 21 ounce cans cherry pie filling
  • Glaze
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 tablespoons to 3 milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar and salt until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in extracts. Gradually add flour.
  • Spread 3/4 of dough into a greased 15x10x1 or a 9 x 13 baking pan. Spread with pie filling. Drop remaining dough by teaspoonfuls over filling. Bake 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely before glazing. (I put mine in the fridge to hurry it up).
  • In a small bowl, mix confectioners' sugar, extracts and enough milk to reach desired consistency; drizzle over top.

    Could these bars be frozen?

      Yes! Freeze without the drizzle and drizzle when thawed.

      Hi Lori – yes it can. In fact if you hover over ‘serving size’ a little slider will pop up and you an adjust the recipe.

    I just came across your recipe, and it sounds delicious, but I need some clarification. What is the correct size can(s) (amount) of cherry pie filling? Also, at the end of directions you say it yields 5 dozen, when the serving size says 12 bars. Please clarify.

      Hi Kate! Thank you for the note. You are correct there was something amuck with the recipe! We changed recipe card companies and some of the older recipes did not update correctly. It is two 21 ounce can of cherry pie filling and the recipe makes about 26 bars. Thanks for letting us know!

    If you wanted to use fresh cherries how much would you need to use? Would you thicken them or how could I substitute the cherry pie filling?
