Cherry and Walnut Pie Bars - A Delicious Dessert Treat
Looking for a delicious dessert that's easy to make and sure to impress? Look no further than these Cherry and Walnut Pie Bars! This delectable treat combines the sweet, juicy flavor of cherries with the rich, nutty taste of walnuts, all wrapped up in a buttery, flaky crust.

To make these Cherry and Walnut Pie Bars, you'll need the following ingredients:

- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1 cup cherry preserves
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and cold water, then add it to the flour mixture and stir until a dough forms.
Press the dough into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, then spread the cherry preserves evenly over the top. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the preserves, then bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Once the Cherry and Walnut Pie Bars are done baking, let them cool completely before slicing into bars. The bars should be firm and slightly chewy, with a sweet and tangy flavor from the cherries and a nutty crunch from the walnuts.
These Cherry and Walnut Pie Bars are the perfect dessert for any occasion, from a casual family dinner to a fancy holiday party. They're easy to make, delicious to eat, and sure to impress your guests. So why not give them a try today?
