Time 4h30m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup milk
1 egg, separated
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup cold butter, cut into chunks
1 ½ cups crushed corn flakes cereal
3 (21 ounce) cans cherry pie filling
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Beat 1/2 cup milk and egg yolk together in a bowl. Combine flour and salt in a separate bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture using a pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; stir into milk-egg mixture until a ball of pastry dough forms. Separate dough into 2 pieces.
  • Roll 1/2 of the dough on a floured work surface large enough to fit in the bottom and up the sides of a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan. Place dough on pan. Sprinkle crushed corn flakes over dough.
  • Drain 1/3 cup liquid from each can of cherry pie filling and reserve liquid for another use. Carefully spoon cherries over corn flakes layer.
  • Roll remaining dough into an 11x16-inch rectangle on a floured work surface; place on top of cherry layer. Tuck 1/2 inch of dough under the bottom crust and gently seal edges.
  • Beat egg white in a bowl until foamy; brush over top dough layer. Sprinkle white sugar over dough.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 1 hour. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely, about 3 hours.
  • Whisk confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until glaze is smooth. Spoon glaze into a plastic bag and snip 1 corner. Slice bars and squeeze glaze onto each bar.

Another of my favorite desserts that comes from my Gram. I added the addition of almonds and sugar on top. I'm sure there are many other recipes similar to this posted, but I figure you can never have too much of a good thing.:) Delicious with ice cream or alone. Enjoy!

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 c sugar
1 c butter, room temp
3 eggs
pinch salt
1 tsp vanilla extract or almond
2 c flour
1 - 21 oz can, cherry pie filling
handful sliced almonds - optional

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 baking dish. In a large bowl, cream sugar and butter until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla. Beat in flour and salt, until thoroughly blended.
  • 2. Spread 1/2 of the batter into bottom of prepared dish. I use my offset knife for this. Could use floured fingers to spread. Spread cherries evenly over batter.
  • 3. Add the remaining batter in dabs over the cherries. I then sprinkle with some sugar and a handful of sliced almonds.
  • 4. Place in oven and bake for 40 - 45 minutes or until batter is cooked through.
  • 5. Cool on rack , then when read to serve I cut into squares. Delicious with ice cream. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a flaky crust, use cold butter and work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Avoid overworking the dough, as this will make it tough.
  • If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use two knives to cut the butter into the flour.
  • If the dough is too dry, add a little bit of ice water until it comes together. If the dough is too wet, add a little bit more flour.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to prevent it from sticking.
  • When transferring the dough to the pie pan, roll it up onto the rolling pin and then unroll it over the pan. This will help to prevent the dough from tearing.
  • Trim the edges of the dough and crimp them to seal the pie.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven for the amount of time specified in the recipe. Check the pie frequently to make sure that it is not overbaking.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Cherry pie bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their flaky crust, sweet cherry filling, and crumbly topping, these bars are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give cherry pie bars a try!
