This strawberry pie bars recipe brings familiar ingredients together in a straightforward home-kitchen method. Read the ingredient list before starting, prepare the equipment in advance and follow the temperature and chilling guidance where relevant.

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup butter, softened
  • 2 Cups sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 Teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 Teaspoons almond extract
  • 3 Cups flour
  • 1 Teaspoons salt
  • 2 Cans (21 oz.) strawberry pie filling

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 175°C / 350°F. Line a 23 × 33 cm / 9 × 13 inch pan with parchment.
  2. Cream softened butter with sugar, then beat in eggs one at a time and add vanilla and almond extracts.
  3. Mix in flour and salt just until combined. Spread about two-thirds of the batter into the pan, spoon strawberry filling over it and dollop remaining batter on top.
  4. Bake approximately 30–40 minutes until the exposed batter is golden and set. Cool fully before cutting; the fruit filling will be very hot.
