A simple dessert that can be prepared in just a few minutes. It has a cinnamon-sugar crust that is topped with cherry pie filling and then baked.

2 cups bisquick baking mix
2/3 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg
1/3 cup shortening
1 can (21 ounce size) cherry pie filling
Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
Mix all ingredients except pie filling. Pat 2/3 of the dough in a greased square pan-9x9x2". Spread the pie filling over dough in pan. Crumble the remaining dough over the pie filling.
Bake about 30 minutes.

Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

My son has food allergies, and I tried this with the 'Gluten Free' Bisquick-it worked out quite well! =)

This dish was awesome and easy to make. My husband even went back for seconds, which is rare!
