Cherry Pie Crumb Bars – Easy and delicious bars with fresh cherry filling and buttery crumb topping!
Cherry Pie Crumb Bars are awesome. Amazingly good and so delicious! Light, moist, refreshing and perfect bars for summer parties!

These Cherry Pie Bars have everything I love about cherry pie but an easier bar form.
How to make Cherry Pie Crumb Bars?
These bars start with a crumb crust and topping. They are filled with fresh cherries. You can use fresh or frozen, but thawed before baking.
Then the topping is sprinkled with sugar before baking.
After baking, allow the bars cool so that you can cut them into neat slices. If desired you can dusted with powdered sugar or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzle over a simple icing made from powdered sugar, milk and a drop of almond extract.

These bars are easy to serve, store and pack up. You can enjoy them straight from the fridge or at room temperature.
Can you freeze them?
I would guess yes. But the truth is these never last long enough to test that. We consume every crumbly, cherry filled bite before they have a chance to visit the freezer.
These are terrific for potluck and summer parties when the fresh cherries are in season.
Weekend is coming. It is the perfect time to make your loved ones a special treat. These Cherry Pie Crumb Bars will leave you and yours smile on your face.

I really like this recipe very much and I like the most this combination with a cup of morning coffee. Enjoy!
