Preheat oven to 350F

In a large bowl cream the butter and sugar using an electric mixer

Add the eggs one at a time & the vanilla extract and almond extract

In a separate medium bowl sift the flour

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet mixture

Mix on medium speed until well blended

Spread 2/3 of the batter evenly on the bottom of a prepared 9x13 cake pan

Spoon on the cherry pie filling - make sure it is evenly spread.

Top the pie filling with the remaining batter by spoonfuls

Bake 40 to 45 minutes (start with 40 minutes)

While the bars are cooling on a wire rack, mix up the Glaze.

Add 2 tbsp of cream first to see what the texture is. You want the glaze to be a bit runny.

Then add the 3rd tbsp. but only if you need it.

Spread it quickly across the top of the cooled bars.

Refrigerate until ready, then slice and serve!
