Eskimo Bars

(Don't ask me why they are called that)

1 3/4 cup sugar
1 cup butter
3 cups flour
1 can pie filling (whatever sounds good)
1 t vanilla
1/2 t almond extract
4 eggs
1/2 t baking powder

Grease and flour cake pan. Combine all ingredients except pie filling in large mixing bowl. Press half the dough into bottom of pan. Cover with pie filling. Dot rest of dough on top by teaspoons. Leave some pie filling showing so it looks fabulous when cooked! Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Delicious!
