Cobbler Bars (Peach Cobbler and Apple Cobbler)

If you are looking for a dessert that isn't very sweet, this is perfect! This recipe is for yummy cobbler bars. I have recently made peach cobbler bars and apple cobbler bars. When I made the peach I made my own filling and I did top the bars with the glaze. The glaze added a little sweetness to the bars. When I made the apple cobbler bars I used apple pie filling and did not make the glaze to go on top. The picture below is of the apple cobbler bars still warm and gooey.

Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 (21 oz.) cans fruit pie filling of choice (*or you can make your own)

Optional glaze:
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 Tablespoons almond, soy, or cow milk
1 cup confectioners sugar

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350.
Butter 9x13 Pyrex dish.
Cream butter and sugar together. Add in vanilla and eggs one at a time and beat until well blended. Add flour and salt and mix until completely combined.
Spread 3 cups of the batter in the prepared 9x13 Pyrex dish. Top with filling all the way to the edges. Drop the remaining batter on top of the filling.
Bake for 45-50 minutes (depending on oven it may need 5-10 more minutes). Cool completely. For the optional glaze combine the above glaze ingredients and drizzle over the top of the bars.

*To make your own filling combine fresh fruit or drained can fruit and add 2 cups of sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Cook on stove top on medium low for an hour.
