This recipe came with my new Wilton pan. I thought it looked good and wanted to keep it safe until I could try it myself. I hope you enjoy it.

Ingredients:

2/3 cup chopped pecans

2/3 cup oats, uncooked (quick or old fashioned)

3 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar

3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine, softened

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine, softened

4 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling, drained

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray 9 inch square pan with vegetable pan spray. In small bowl, combine topping ingredients; mix well until crumbly. Set aside.
2. In large bowl, beat granulated sugar and butter with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla and almond extracts; beat until combined. Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add to butter mixture; mix just until moistened. Spoon batter into prepared pan; spread evenly. Top evenly with cherry pie filling; gently press cherries into batter. Sprinkle with topping mixture.
3. Bake 50-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
