DElicious! Follow recipe exactly. I made my own cherry filling however using fresh sweet cherries simmer with sugar water and added gelatin (very simple, recommend using this as a topping/filling for anything!) The batter baked perfectly and the almond flavoring of the icing and batter are SUCH a nice compliment to the cherries! In love.

I prefer my recipe which is nearly the same. Only difference is I use 1 tsp almond extract, only one can of pie filling and NO icing. Icing makes them sickeningly sweet and I love the extra almond flavor. Using only one can of filling makes them easier to eat, IMO.

Made half of the original yield. Fortunately, in a 9x13 pan, this recipe DOES NOT need any time adjustments for smaller portions. One word to describe this: fantastic. Despite all doubts, this recipe is worth a try.

Exactly what I was looking for. My mom used to make these when I was a kid...this recipe is just as delicious. Thanks!

I followed the recipe and used a 10x15 pan, and 35 minutes was no where near enough cooking time. The inside was a runny mess, and you can't trust the toothpick test because those appeared to come out clean. I think an hour is more like it, but you'll have to cover the pan to keep the top from over-browning. I used fresh pie cherries boiled with corn starch and sugar for the filling - their tartness was great. Didn't have almond extract, so substituted some rum extract, and it was very good with the other flavors. I think the recipe makes way, way more glaze than you need - the amount almost totally covered the bars but this is already very sweet. Overall, pretty delicious, but definitely two pans or much longer in the oven.

These are so good with or without the icing. The taste reminds me of a danish you would get at the bakery. I only used 1 can of the fruit and found that to be just right for my taste. Made these to share at our town meeting and everyone loved them.
