Cherry Bars: Sweet, Fruity, and Perfect for Any Occasion

 


Step-By-Step Instructions

Step 1 – Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Step 2 – Make the Crust
In a bowl, combine butter, 1 1/2 cups flour, and sugar until crumbly. Press half of the mixture into the prepared pan to form the base.

Step 3 – Add the Filling
Spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the crust.

Step 4 – Add the Topping
Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the cherries. If desired, add nuts or oatmeal on top.

Step 5 – Bake
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the cherry filling is bubbly.

Step 6 – Cool and Slice
Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars. Serve and enjoy!
