Description
A sweet, simple treat with a buttery shortbread crust, jammy cherry filling, and crunchy oat crumble on top.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the flour and salt, mixing until the dough comes together. Press half of the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
- Spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the crust.
- Mix oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and the remaining dough until crumbly. Sprinkle this mixture over the cherry filling.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- Let cool completely in the pan.
- Whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled bars.
- Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
Chill the crust if dough becomes too soft. Use parchment paper to help lift the bars from the pan cleanly.
