Cherry Pie Bars

🧂 Ingredients

• 8 ounces butter

  room temperature
• 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 can cherry pie filling

  I used Lucky Leaf Premium Cherry

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 350º F. Butter a 17"x12"x1" sheet cake pan.
• 2 In an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the
  eggs one at a time and mix just until blended. Add the vanilla.
• 3 In a separate bowl, whisk the flour and salt together. Stir the dry ingredients
  into the creamed mixture just until blended. Spread the batter into the prepared
  pan.
• 4 Mark the batter into 24 squares by pressing lightly with a sharp knife. Spoon 1
  tablespoon of fruit filling into the center of each square. Do not press the
  filling into the batter (the batter will puff up around the filling as it
  bakes).
• 5 Bake for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the
  center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
• 6 Cut into bars and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
