SOUR CREAM CHERRY BARS

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup packed brown sugar

2 cups quick-cooking oats

1 ½ cups plus 2 T. all-purpose flour, divided

2 cups dried cherries

1 cup sour cream

¾ cup sugar

1 T. grated orange zest

1 tsp. vanilla

1 egg, beaten

Preheat oven to 350.

In a bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

In another bowl, combine oats and 1 ½ cups flour.  Add to creamed mixture.  Reserve 1 ½ cups of crumb mixture for topping.  Press remaining mixture into the bottom of a 9"x13" baking pan.  Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned (and set to the touch).

            In a separate bowl, combine cherries, sour cream, sugar, orange zest, vanilla, egg, and remaining 2 T. flour.  Stir until well blended.  Spread over hot crust.  Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture.  Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until filling is set and topping is lightly browned.  It will feel set to the touch.

            Cool completely before cutting into bars.  Serve or refrigerate.
