Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8” baking dish by greasing it and lining with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the egg, vanilla extract, almond extract, and cherry pie filling. Mix well.
  4. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, cooking until browned. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the browned butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar, mixing until creamy.
  6. Incorporate the cherry mixture into the butter-sugar blend, mixing just until combined.
  7. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. Stir in white chocolate chips and slivered almonds.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared dish, spreading evenly. Optionally, top with more white chocolate chips and almonds. Bake for 50-55 minutes.
  9. After baking, let the blondies cool in the pan for about 20 minutes before lifting them out and slicing.
