Notes
- A jelly roll pan is a large, shallow baking pan that is perfect for making slab pies, bars, and jelly rolls. The size I use is 15×10″. I use it to make many of my dessert bars!
- Apple, blueberry, peach, and strawberry pie filling will work, too!
- Any leftover bars should be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container. They will keep for up to five days.
- Just omit it and increase the amount of vanilla extract instead.
