How to Make Cherry Pie Filling Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 15x10x1 inch jellyroll pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) margarine and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 2 cups all-purpose flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared jellyroll pan and spread evenly.
- Gently use a toothpick or knife to lightly score the batter into even bars (approximately 12-15 bars depending on your preference).
- Drop 2-4 spoonfuls of cherry pie filling (approximately 1 tablespoon per spoonful) into the center of each scored bar.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely in the pan before dusting with powdered sugar and cutting into bars.
