Cherry Pie Bars: Buttery pie crust topped with cherries and a sweet glaze.

Cherry Pie Bars

 

Bars are so much easier to make than pie. Some of ours favorites are pumpkin pie bars, Strawberry Shortcake Bars, and of course these cherry pie bars.I’ve never posted a pie recipe before. Not because I don’t bake them, but because they’re never “pretty”. They usually taste good, but they look like a hot mess.

Yeah I’m talking about you ugly crust pumpkin pie and boiled over apple pie. They might be okay for family, but they’re not something I’d want to take to a party or show off on the blog.

However, these Cherry Pie Bars are nearly impossible to mess up! They make a great treat for Valentine’s Day, Christmas, or just because!

    This is one of my husbands favorites. My recipe calls for all the batter to be poured into pan and then the pie filling to be placed in sections or ‘squares’ then baked. So much easier. Give it a try. Either way, the end result is delish.

    Found I had to bake it for at least 20 more minutes to get it baked all the way through.
