📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 375F. Line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper with a slight overhang on the 2 longer sides.
2
In a large mixing bowl, stir together 3 cups spooned and leveled flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Cut in 1 cup cubed butter with a fork or pastry blender (or your hands) until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Then stir in 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/4 teaspoon almond extract with a fork (dough should remain crumbly.)

Press a little more than half the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
4
Bake for ⏱️ 10-12 minutes or until the crust is just starting to lightly brown and no longer shiny or wet.
5
Spoon 21 ounces cherry pie filling over the partially baked crust, then using a spatula spread it into an even layer. Sprinkle with the remaining crumb mixture, pressing some of it together to form slightly bigger pieces, if desired (making sure some of the pie filling still peaks through.)

Bake for an additional ⏱️ 25-30 minutes until the top is lightly golden and the filling is bubbly.
7
Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool completely.
8
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon almond extract until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, adjust by adding a bit more milk if needed. Once the bars are completely cooled, drizzle over the top and allow glaze to set.
