Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups white sugar
• 1 cup margarine
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
• 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar for dusting

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan.

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in almond extract. Fold in flour until just blended. Spread batter into prepared pan. With the tip of a knife, mark squares in the batter. Spoon equal portions of pie filling in the center of each square.

Step 3

Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool, then dust with confectioners' sugar.
