Berry Squares

Sometimes pie filling can be your best friend. Like with these berry squares. So yummy! Mix up the ingredients for the crust, throw the pie filling on top and you've got yourself an easy dessert! You can certainly half the recipe for something smaller or make the whole thing and freeze some for later. I used raspberry, but switch it up to whatever floats your boat! A really easy and tasty treat!
