How to celebrate Cherry Pie Day

Cherry Pie Day
by Cupcake Kisses N Crumbs

Cherry Pie Day Is February 20th!

What a fun idea. Cherry Pies are pretty stinkin’ charming and cute!

I have NEVER made a cherry pie, and as much as I would like to, I seriously doubt I will get to it, unless I maybe do a couple mini ones with my mini pie maker!

But I am usually a make ahead kind of person, so maybe I will try these instead.

Recipe

Cherry Pie Pecan Bars
Adapted from Lucky Leaf recipe

2 cups all purpose flour

2 cups uncooked quick cooking oats

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

13 tablespoons butter

7 tablespoons apple butter

1/2 cup chopped pecans

1 tsp baking soda

1 21 oz can cherry pie filling

1 cup miniature marshmallows

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Combine all ingredients except pie filling and marshmallows in a large mixing bowl.  Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

2. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the crumb mixture for the topping.  Press remaining mixture into ungreased 13×9 inch baking pan.  Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.  Gently spoon pie filling over hot crust.  Sprinkle with marshmallows then sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture.

3. Continue baking for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned.  Cool completely on a rack.

Happy Cherry Pie Day!!
