Who here loves cherry pie? Is there anyone who doesn’t love this dessert? I can’t imagine!
It is one of my favorite pies to make and devour! Today I made a delicious summer dessert to share with you. This is a Cherry dessert that I call Cherry Pie Bars and I think that it is a perfect dessert for a summer BBQ or potluck.
The cherry pie bars are made with a cherry pie filing and have almond flavoring in the crust and glaze on top. I love the cherry and almond flavor combination, I could eat the entire pan alone. They are really yummy for breakfast too! Maybe not healthy, but yummy!
This recipe makes a huge pan of cherry dessert bars so you will have plenty for a large gathering or to share with neighbor friends if you don’t eat them all yourself first.
You can find the recipe for the Cherry Pie Bars below!
