How to Make Cherry Dessert

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine Bisquick mix, sugar, and salt.
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the milk until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish.
Spread 1 (21 ounce) can of cherry pie filling evenly over the batter.
Pour the remaining batter over the pie filling.
Bake for 60 minutes, or until golden brown and a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional)!
