Cherry Pie Bars

I tried this out for the first time about a year ago and fell in love.  The problem with most pies is the crust to filling recipe....this fixing all of that and then some.  I also think it's about 18,568x's easier than the typical pie crush.  So....with Cherry Pie in demand as summer goes into full swing...here's a little pot luck dish option. It's also totally find to make this at 2 am and eat it all by yourself too.
