Ingredients:
1 c. butter, softened
2 c. sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1 can (21 oz.) peach pie filling
CHEESECAKE CENTER:
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
GLAZE:
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1 c. powdered sugar
2 Tbsp. milk

Directions:
Cream together butter and sugar.  Add eggs and beat well.  Beat in vanilla.

In a separate bowl combine flour and salt.  Add to the creamed mixture.  Mix until combined.

In a medium sized bowl beat together cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth.  Add the egg and beat until combined.

Grease a 10x15 pan or 9x13 (cooking time will be longer with a 9x13).  Spread 3 c. batter in the bottom.  Spread cream cheese layer on top and lastly spread with pie filling.  Drop remaining batter on top of pie filling.  

Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes (35 minutes if using a 9x13) or until a toothpick comes out clean.  Cool on a wire rack.  Combine powdered sugar, extracts and milk for the glaze and drizzle over the bars.  Let cool completely and refrigerate for 3 hours for easier cutting.
