Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Mix the Crust Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of unsalted butter (softened), 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

  3. 3

    Form the Crust

    Mix until the dough is well combined and forms a ball. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.

  4. 4

    Bake the Crust

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Filling Preparation

  1. 5

    Add the Cherry Filling

    Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the warm crust.

Topping Preparation

  1. 6

    Dust with Powdered Sugar

    Once the cherry filling is added, sprinkle 0.5 cup of powdered sugar over the cherry filling for a sweet finish.

  2. 7

    Cool and Slice

    Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares or bars. Serve and enjoy!
