I've been making this recipe that I got from my sister, Joan for years. The recipe is actually for cherry dance bars, but you can substitute any canned pie filling. It is easy and delicious. We particularly like blueberry. One word of caution. It is easy to under bake this recipe and then it's doughy. Make sure a toothpick comes out clean.
1 cup butter
1 3/4 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
3 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
nutmeg and cinnamon, to taste (I don't use either in blueberry, but I sprinkle on a couple tablespoons sugar and a little lemon juice)
1 can blueberry or cherry pie filling
Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat well. Turn off the mixer and add the flour and baking powder. Then mix together.
Spread half of the dough 9 x 13 pan. Spread the pie filling over the dough. Sprinkle on spices or lemon juice and sugar. Drop remaining dough by spoonfuls on top of the pie filling. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Make a glaze of powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Glaze the top. So delicious!!
