I'm not a fan of cherries, so I used raspberries instead. They were still very good.

My bars didn't set properly. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The crust on my bars was a bit dry. I think I would add a little more butter next time.

These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I made these bars gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour blend. They were just as good as the regular version.

I'm allergic to almonds, so I used chopped walnuts instead. They were still delicious!

These cherry almond pie bars were a huge hit at my family gathering! The combination of tart cherries and sweet almond filling was perfect, and the crust was flaky and delicious. I will definitely be making these again.
