Enjoy the delightful taste of cherry pie in an easy-to-eat bar form. These Glazed Cherry Pie Bars are perfect for any occasion, offering a sweet, fruity filling nestled in a buttery crust, all topped with a simple glaze.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°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. Beat in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  4. Press about two-thirds of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
  5. Spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the crust.
  6. Crumble the remaining one-third of the dough over the cherry filling.
  7. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  9. While the bars are cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until you reach a smooth, pourable glaze consistency.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bars.
  11. Cut into bars and serve.

Notes

  • For a crisper crust, you can bake the bottom crust for about 10 minutes before adding the filling.
  • If you don’t have milk for the glaze, you can use water or lemon juice for a slightly different flavor.
  • Ensure the bars are completely cooled before glazing for the best results.
