 Cooked spaghetti noodles

 4 cups chicken or turkey.  I grilled a whole chicken on my charcoal grill and used that.  It adds a smokey charcoal grill flavor. 

 I added everything, it is ready to go in a large pan, 10x15

This is the pan I use. it is the next size up from a 9x11 cake pan. a 10x15

1 cup butter, softened

2 cups sugar

4 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp almond extract

3 cups flour

1 tsp salt

2 cans (21oz each) Pie filling

Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp almond extract

2 TBLS milk

Cream butter and sugar together.  Add eggs, beating after each addition.  Mix in extracts.  Add flour and salt. Mix until well combined.

Spread 3 cups of the batter in a greased jelly roll pan 10x15.  Spread the pie filling on top of the dough.  Drop remaining dough by tablespoonfuls on top of pie filling.

Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.  or until toothpick comes out clean.  Cool.

Combine glaze ingredients and drizzle over bars.  If serving the next day wait and do this before serving or the bars will be a bit soggy. 

I made my first one with cherry pie filling. It tasted like a cherry pop tart.  I can't wait to try other flavors like blueberry or even peach!!
