Reserve 1 cup of the dough for later and set it aside.2¼ cups all-purpose flourSpread the dough in an even layer across the bottom of your prepared baking pan. Then top it with the pie filling.

See my article on how to make cherry pie filling taste better to make these easy dessert bars even more delicious! Adjust the glaze consistency until it reaches a good drizzling thickness. It should cling to your spoon, but flow freely without dropping in clumps. To store: Keep any leftover cherry cobbler bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days (before adding the glaze). If you have added a dairy-based glaze, your cherry squares should be kept refrigerated for up to 4 days. To freeze: If freezing your cherry cobbler bars, do not add the glaze until they are thawed and ready to serve. Wrap them in aluminum foil then place them in an airtight container or heavy-duty freezer bag. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving and enjoy within 3 months.

Reserve 1 cup of the dough for later and set it aside.2¼ cups all-purpose flourSpread the dough in an even layer across the bottom of your prepared baking pan. Then top it with the pie filling.

See my article on how to make cherry pie filling taste better to make these easy dessert bars even more delicious! Adjust the glaze consistency until it reaches a good drizzling thickness. It should cling to your spoon, but flow freely without dropping in clumps. To store: Keep any leftover cherry cobbler bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days (before adding the glaze). If you have added a dairy-based glaze, your cherry squares should be kept refrigerated for up to 4 days. To freeze: If freezing your cherry cobbler bars, do not add the glaze until they are thawed and ready to serve. Wrap them in aluminum foil then place them in an airtight container or heavy-duty freezer bag. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving and enjoy within 3 months.
