Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan and set aside.

5. Layer the Dough: Press two-thirds of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
6. Add Cherry Filling: Spread the cherry pie filling in an even layer over the dough.
7. Top with Remaining Dough: Crumble the remaining dough over the cherry layer.
