    Set the oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

    Grease an 8" x 8" x 2" baking pan; set aside. In a medium
    bowl, stir together flour, oats, brown sugar, and almonds.
    using a mixer, cut in butter until mixture resembles
    coarse crumbs. Press crumbs into the bottom of the
    prepared pan. Bake for 12 minutes.

    Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, granulated
    sugar, vanilla, and almond extract with an electric mixer
    on medium speed until light and fluffy. Gradually add egg,
    beating on low speed just until combined. Stir in
    cherries. Spread cream cheese mixture over partially baked
    crust.

    Bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until cream cheese layer is
    set. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Cover and
    chill for 2 to 24 hours before serving.

    Cut into bars to serve. Garnish individual servings with
    dessert topping and/or almonds, if desired. Store in
    refrigerator.
