1Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs and beat well. Beat in vanilla.
2In a separate bowl combine flour and salt. Add to the creamed mixture. Mix until combined.
3In a medium sized bowl beat together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add the egg and beat until combined.
4Grease a 15x10x1 pan or 9x13, whichever one you decide to use. (The author used a 9x13 but cooking time will be longer.) Spread 3 cups batter in the bottom. Spread the cream cheese layer on top and lastly spread with pie filling. Drop remaining batter on top of pie filling.
5Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes (if using a 9x13 increase time to 35) or until toothpick comes clean. Cool on wire rack. Combine powdered sugar and milk for the glaze and drizzle over the bars.
6Let the bars cool completely and refrigerate them for 3 hours for easier cutting.
