You’re absolutely right—these Cherry Cheesecake Bars capture the soul of Midwestern hospitality: warm, generous, and made with love, yet astonishingly simple. With just three ingredients (plus a pinch of salt!), you get a buttery crust, creamy cheesecake layer, and spoonfuls of glossy cherry pie filling—all in one pan, ready faster than takeout.
No mixer. No fancy techniques. Just dump, spread, bake, and share. And yes—they’re perfect for gifting in two glass dishes: one for your table, one for someone who needs a little sweetness.
