I made these bars for a Girls on the Run of Las Vegas board meeting. Meetings are always better when there's something sweet to enjoy. :) The recipe came from Joanne Fluke's Devil's Food Cake Murder. I can't wait 'til Joanne's cookbook comes out in the fall of 2011!
Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (packed down when measured)
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 3 sticks of salted butter, softened
- 1 21-ounce can of strawberry pie filling
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spritz a 9x13 inch baking pan with non-stick buttery spray.
- Mix the flour and powdered sugar together in a mixing bowl.
- Cut the softened butter into the flour/sugar mixture using two knives or a pastry cutter. When finished, the mixture should resemble bread crumbs or coarse corn meal.
- Spread half the mixture (approximately 3 cups) into the baking pan.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are just turning golden brown.
- Remove the pan to a wire rack to cool, but leave the oven on.
- Let the crust cool for 5 minutes.
- Spread the pie filling on top of the crust.
- Sprinkle the crust with the other half of the flour/sugar/butter mixture, spreading it as evenly as possible.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is lightly golden.
- Cool completely.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Cut into bars and sprinkle with additional powdered sugar.
