The perfect treat for those days when life throws you a curve… AKA~ Last minute invite to a get together Dessert! One of the things that makes this treat so easy to make is that I am betting that you already have all the ingredients in your pantry. And while your getting ready for the get together, they can be baking in the oven! Fast, Easy and Delicious!
Cherry Pie Bar’s
1 Cup Butter, softened
2 Cups Sugar
4 Egg’s
1 teaspoon Almond Extract
3 Cups All Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
2 (21 oz.) Cherry Pie Filling
Glaze~
1 Cup Powdered Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Almond Extract
5 Tablespoon’s Milk
Preheat oven to 350 degree’s
In a mixing bowl cream the butter and sugar together for 3 minutes. Add in eggs and almond extract, mix again for 1 minutes. Next add in flour, salt and cinnamon. Press 3/4 of the dough into a greased 9″ x 13″ pan. Spread the pie filling over, then “drop” remaining dough over pie filling. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Let bars cool for 15 minutes before drizzling the glaze over top, I like to sprinkle some decorating sugar to make it shine.
Now that you see how easy they are….go make a pan for your family tonight!
