CHERRY DREAM BARS

Category: Bars

1 box white or yellow cake mix
1/2 cup butter, divided
1 1/4 cups oatmeal, divided
1 egg
1 can cherry pie filling
1/2 cup nuts, chopped
1/4 cup packed brown sugar

Mix cake mix, 6 tbsp (I used cold cut up) butter and 1 cup oatmeal. Mix until crumbly (I pulsed in processor). Reserve 1 cup crumbs for topping. To remaining crumbs, add egg, mixing until well blended. Press into a 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Pour pie filling over crust, spreading to cover.

To the reserved crumbs add 1/4 cup oatmeal, 2 tbsp butter, nuts and brown sugar. Beat until thoroughly mixed. Sprinkle over cherry mixture. Bake at 350 for 30 to 40 minutes.
