Cherry Pie Bars

My favorite pie is cherry pie.  I just love me some cherry pie.  I have never liked pumpkin pie, so cherry pie is my top choice for Thanksgiving.   These cherry pie bars are the bomb!  It was just like biting into a cherry pie and served warm with a side of vanilla ice cream.... wow.  I think I want some more now!

Rating: 5 stars  Difficulty of Recipe: 2 stars
Things that I changed:  Nothing
Things that I would do differently next time: It suggests baking them in a 15x10x1 pan or a 9x13.  Next time I am going to bake them in a 15x10 pan so they aren't so thick and don't take so long to bake.
Will I make this again?  Yes
Recipe Adapted From: Julies treats

1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 eggs

1. Cream together butter and sugar.  Add eggs and beat well.  Beat in extracts.

2. In a separate bowl combine flour and salt.  Add to the creamed mixture.  Mix until combined.

3. Grease a 15x10x1 pan or 9x13, whichever one you decide to use.  Spread 3 cups batter in a 15x10x1 (Also works with 9x13- baking time will at least be 35 minutes)  Spread with pie filling.  Drop remaining batter on top of pie filling.
