Pie Filling Bars

• 1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 eggs
• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vanilla (yes, a TABLEspoon)
• 1 (16 ounce) can pie filling, any flavor
• 1 cup powdered sugar, for topping

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Generously grease a 10-inch x 15-inch jelly-roll pan.
3. Cream the sugar and butter together until fluffy.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
5. Mix in the flour, salt and vanilla, and beat until well-mixed.
6. Spread the batter in the prepared pan and using a knife or spatula, score into whatever size bars you desire.
7. In the middle of each of the bars, put about a tablespoon of the pie filling (doing this as neatly as possible makes for a prettier presentation).
8. Place on middle rack of preheated oven and bake for 25 to 28 minutes, or until lightly browned.
9. Let cool completely and re-slice into bars, then sprinkle with powdered sugar.
