Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes, then add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers to work the butter into the mixture until it forms a crumbly texture.

Step 4

Take 2 cups of the crumb mixture and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Set aside the remaining mixture.

Step 5

Spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the crust in the baking dish.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, combine the remaining crumb mixture with the old-fashioned rolled oats, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to make the topping.

Step 7

Sprinkle the topping evenly over the cherry pie filling, ensuring complete coverage.

Step 8

Bake the bars in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Step 10

Serve the Cherry Pie Filling Bars as a delightful dessert or snack. Optionally, pair with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
