Spread ⅔ of the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, stir together cherry pie filling and almond extract.
Spread the cherry filling over the crust.
Drop small spoonfuls of the remaining dough over the top (it won’t fully cover, but will create a nice crumble effect).
4. Bake to Perfection:
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set.
Let cool completely before adding the glaze.
5. Make the Glaze:
Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Drizzle over the cooled bars.
6. Slice & Enjoy!
Cut into squares and serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra treat! 🍨
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
