Why not make a pan of these easy Strawberry Pie Bars! From the delicious crust to the cream cheese glaze these are a crowd pleaser!
Ingredients
For the Batter:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 can (21 ounce) Strawberry Pie Filling
For the Glaze:
- 4 ounce cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until creamy. Add in eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add in flour, salt, baking powder and vanilla. Spread batter into a 13x9 baking dish. Top with strawberry pie filling.
- Bake pie bars in a 350 degree oven for about 28-32 minutes, until edges begin to brown. Allow to cool before adding the glaze.
- For the glaze, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Spoon into a ziploc bag and cut off the tip. Pipe lines of glaze onto cooled bars. Serve warm or refrigerate and enjoy cold.
Notes
- How do you store these bars? Leftover bars should be stored covered in the refrigerator. I love the way they taste cold straight from the fridge! If you prefer, let them come to room temperature before serving.
- Can you substitute different pie filling instead of strawberry? Of course. This recipe would be delicious with canned cherry, peach or blueberry pie filling!
- What kind of pan works best for this recipe? I used a 9 x 13 glass baking dish for this recipe. A square or smaller pan would work too but the thickness of the bars will be different and you may need to adjust the baking time.
