Valentine Cherry Bars

1 3/4 Cups sugar
1 C butter
1 tsp vanilla
4 eggs
3 C flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder

Heat oven to 350 and grease a 15 x 10 jelly roll pan. In bowl, cream sugar, butter and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each. Gradually add flour and baking powder; blend well. Spread 2/3 of batter into the prepared pan. Spread pie filling over the batter. Drop remaining batter by teaspoonfuls over pie filling. Bake 25 minutes or until lightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool and glaze. You will want to eat it right away, but trust me, GLAZE.
