Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup butter (softened)
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • cooking spray
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 10" x 15" jelly roll pan with cooking spray.
  • Place the butter, sugar and salt in the bowl of a mixer. Beat until fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.
  • With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.
  • Spread 2/3 of the dough evenly over the bottom of the pan.
  • Spread the pie filling over the dough.
  • Place teaspoon sized dollops of dough all over the surface of the pie filling.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely in the pan.
  • To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, extracts and milk. Add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, if you prefer a thinner glaze.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the bars. Let the glaze harden, then cut into squares and serve.
