In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Gradually add the flour and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Take two-thirds of the dough mixture and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the base layer.
-
Spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the dough base.
-
Crumble the remaining dough over the cherry filling, creating a crumbly topping.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbling.
