If you love cherry pie but hate the hassle of crimping crusts and waiting for it to cool before slicing…
You’re going to fall head over heels for cherry pie bars .
They're everything we love about classic cherry pie — gooey filling, buttery crust, sweet-tart flavor — just baked in a tray and cut into portable, shareable squares.
No rolling pins.
No pie tins.
Just simple layering, a little patience, and a whole lot of cherries.
Let’s walk through how to make these irresistible bars — and why they might just become your new favorite summer treat.
🧁 Why Cherry Pie Bars Are Better Than Pie (Sometimes)

Cherry pie bars?
They’re easier.
They’re sliceable.
They’re perfect for potlucks, picnics, or midnight fridge raids when you want something indulgent without committing to a full piece of pie.
