Gluten Free Cherry Bars

Cherry Bars

I decided I needed to find a bar that people who love Cherries, Apples,Blueberries etc. could make and use for all of the above. I've been searching for quite a while, and trying to find just the right combination; I have found this  a little difficult, because I HATE cooked fruit!! (this is a trait my father passed down and I apparently passed to my kids) I however, really do love this crust. So, if you like cooked fruit like my husband, and all the men he works with, choose your canned fruit of choice for ease of use, and here is is a Quick and Tasty dessert!!  See, I don't always make Chocolate and Nutella recipes....I do bake things that aren't my favorite just to make others happy, 

occasionally!  

Happy Baking, Natalie
