Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Press about two-thirds of the dough into the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
  7. Spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the crust.
  8. Crumble the remaining dough over the cherry filling.
  9. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  10. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before glazing.
  11. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and almond extract (if using) until smooth.
  12. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bars. Let the glaze set before cutting into bars.

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, you can blind bake the crust for 10 minutes before adding the filling.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon to the crumble topping for extra flavor.
  • Store any leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
