Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 (21 ounce) cans cherry pie filling

Instructions

  3. Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

  6. Press half of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
  7. Spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the dough.
  8. If using, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the cherry filling.
  9. Crumble the remaining dough and sprinkle it evenly over the top of the filling.
  10. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  11. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • For an extra sweet topping, you can sprinkle a little extra sugar over the crumbled dough before baking.
  • Ensure the bars are completely cooled before cutting for cleaner slices.
  • These bars are delicious served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
