GLAZED CHERRY PIE BARS

Image
The cherry bars are like cherry pie but easier. There's a buttery, soft, tender crust topped with cherry pie filling before being baked and glazed. There's almond extract in both the bars and the glaze which adds the most heavenly flavor. The cherry and almond extract combination is absolutely perfect. I baked the bars using a 15x10x1-inch jelly roll pan and appreciate that they don't turn out overly thick. However, you could probably use a 9x13-inch pan noting the bars will be thicker and the baking time will be longer. It's a great recipe for parties and events because the recipe makes a large amount. YIELD: one 15x10x1-inch jelly roll pan PREP TIME: 10 minutes COOK TIME: about 35 minutes TOTAL TIME: about 90 minutes, for coolin INGREDIENTS: Bars 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 2 cups granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste 4 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (or 1/2 teaspoon if you love almond extract)
