Equipment

  • pastry blender
  • 8x8 baking dish

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour (I recommend this, simply the best option - amazon)
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 cup Cold Unsalted Butter
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 cups Cherry Pie Filling (use this one, my go to for years - amazon)
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder.
  • Cut the cold unsalted butter into pieces and blend into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender. Stir in the egg and vanilla extract until a crumbly dough forms.
  • Press two-thirds of the dough firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust.
  • Spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the bottom crust.
  • Crumble the remaining dough over the top of the cherry layer. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is lightly golden brown.
  • Let the bars cool. Whisk the powdered sugar and milk together to create a simple glaze, drizzle over the top, and cut into squares.
