CHERRY PIE COOKIE BARS

Steps:

• For the cookie bars: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cream together the granulated sugar, butter and orange zest in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until pale and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing in between, then the vanilla. Mix until fully incorporated.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Add half the dry ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing, then add half the milk. Add the remaining dry ingredients followed by the remaining milk and mix until the dough comes together.
• Press two-thirds of the dough into the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Pour over the cherry pie filling and spread it out evenly. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining dough over the pie filling. Bake until the edges and top are golden and the center is set, 35 to 40 minutes. Let the bars cool and set, 15 to 20 minutes.

CHERRY CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Tip the cherries into a medium-sized ovenproof dish (around 28cm) and mix with the sugar, lemon and vanilla. Set aside.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 4. Tip the flour and butter into a mixing bowl and rub together with your fingertips to create a fine, breadcrumb-like mixture. Stir through the salt, brown sugar, oats and most of the almonds. Tip over the cherry mixture, then top with the remaining almonds.

TART CHERRY CHEESECAKE CRUMB BARS

Steps:

• Line a 13×9 Baking Pan with parchment and/or baking spray. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan (3-4 qt), place the cherries. Add in the sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, almond extract and pinch of salt.
• Heat over Medium temperature, stirring regularly, until mixture first boils, and then thickens. On my gas stove, this took just a few (less than 5) minutes. It would take a bit longer over an electric burner. Once thickened and glossy, remove from heat to a bowl to cool a bit while you make the other layers.
• In a Medium bowl, whisk the room temperature cream cheese, sugar and egg until smooth. Set aside.
• Whisk together the flours, sugar, baking powder, salt in a mixing bowl. Using your fingers, work the butter cubes into the dry ingredients until a crumbly dough is formed, much like the dough of a pie crust before adding the water. Butter pieces should be irregularly sized.
• Add the egg and mix until incorporated.
• Press half of the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of lined/sprayed baking pan.
• Using an offset spatula or a knife, evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the layer of crumb mixture, leaving about 1/2″ around the edges.
• Evenly spread the cooled cherry filling over the cream cheese mixture.
• Using your hands, mix the sliced almonds into the remaining half of the crumb mixture. Then scatter small pieces of the crumb mixture over the cherry layer, until all the crumb mixture is used. The cherry layer should be completely covered (or almost completely) with crumb mixture
• Bake in preheated oven 35-45 minutes, until top is golden brown. Mine took 42 minutes.
• Cool completely before cutting into bars.

• Coarsely chop fruit. Combine with 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and reserved cooking liquid in a bowl.
• Whisk together oats, flour, baking soda, salt, remaining 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar. Cut in cold butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal with a few larger clumps remaining.
• Press 4 cups of oat mixture evenly into bottom of prepared dish. Spread fruit filling on top, leaving a 1/4-inch border on all sides. Sprinkle remaining oat mixture evenly on top.

CHERRY CRUMBLE BARS FOR TWO

Steps:

• Put a small baking sheet on a rack in the lower third of the oven, and preheat to 375 degrees F. Cut 1 piece of parchment to fit the bottom of a mini loaf pan so that it climbs halfway up the long ends; butter the paper lightly on the bottom and more heavily on the sides (including the exposed pan). Combine the preserves and the cherries in a small bowl.
• Toss the flour, oats, brown sugar, confectioners' sugar, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Drizzle in the melted butter, and mix with a fork until the flour mixture is moistened and starting to clump. Press a loosely packed 1/2 cup of the flour mixture into the bottom of the prepared loaf pan. Spread the cherry mixture on top. Add the almonds to the remaining flour mixture, and squeeze it to make some larger chunks; sprinkle the almond-flour mixture over the cherry mixture, and press it in lightly.
• Bake the bar on the hot baking sheet until the cherry mixture bubbles and the streusel on top is nicely browned, 24 to 26 minutes. Let the bar cool on a cooling rack until lukewarm, then use the parchment to lift the bar out of the pan. Carefully peel off the parchment, and let the bar cool completely on the rack. Cut the bar in half on a long diagonal, and serve.
