How to Make Cherry Pie Squares

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter 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 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon almond extract.
Gradually blend in 3 cups all-purpose flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Top with 2 (15 ounce) cans cherry pie filling, spreading it evenly.
Gently pour the remaining batter over the pie filling and spread to cover.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the ultimate indulgence!
