These cherry pie bars are epically delicious! A delicate sugar cookie crust is filled with cherry pie filling (I always used can—10 times easier than making my own and no one can ever tell) and drizzled with a sweet vanilla glaze. Every bite is a cherry pie lover’s dream—all without the effort of actually baking a pie.

Plus, this recipe makes a ton, making it perfect to share with friends and family when you get together. They’re perfectly sweet and disappeared from the potluck table in record time. If you want a show stopping, delicious and easy dessert this is it!
