I love the holidays and especially all of the baking involved. It can be a busy time but baking in the kitchen is my happy place. I love baking delicious treats and giving them to neighbors. Some things that I bake in the kitchen become an instant favorite with the first bite. These Cherry Pie Sour Cream Crumb Bars fell into the instant favorite category. Instead of giving them to my neighbors I wanted to eat have them all for myself. They were just that good!
Something about the bright red cherry pie filling remind me of the holidays. These bars have a delicious nutty crust and the center is filled with a creamy and sweet sour cream center swirled with cherry pie filling. The top is a crumbly delicious topping which is a perfect finish to these bars. Can you see why they became an instant favorite!?
We recently had Thanksgiving and I took these bars for dessert. Cherry Pie is my favorite Pie! You get the same delicious taste of a cherry pie in each and every bite. They are simple to make and were the biggest hit and everyone raved about them! I am a HUGE fan of Lucky Leaf. I could actually tell what Cherry Pies had Lucky leaf pie filling and which ones didn’t. I love Lucky Leaf Pie filling so much because it tastes high in quality and is bursting with delicious cherries in every bite! They were just was these bars needed. Then when you swirl the creamy sour cream mixture with the filling, you will have one amazing dessert! You have got to try these for yourself!

Cherry Pie Sour Cream Crumb Bars
Ingredients
- ¼ cup pecans
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter melted and cooled to room temperature
Filling:
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (21-ounce) can cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare an 8×8 inch square pan by lining it with parchment paper and spraying it with cooking spray.
- Add the ¼ cup pecans to a food processor and pulse until they are coarse crumbs.
- Make the crust by whisking together the 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup light brown sugar, pecan crumbs, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Add the melted ½ cup butter. The dough will be crumbly but make sure all of the butter is incorporated.
- Reserve 3/4 cup of the crust and press the remaining into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- For the sour cream filling, mix the ½ cup sour cream, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, 1 egg, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Pour over the crust in the pan.
- Spoon the 1 (21-ounce) can cherry pie filling over the sour cream and gently swirl it with a spoon.
- Sprinkle the reserved 3/4 cup crust over the top and bake for 25-28 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely and serve in squares.

Delicious and easy to make. I like the twist of using sour cream. After grinding the nuts (I used walnuts because that’s what was in pantry), I just mixed the dry ingredients in the food processor along with them. The first time I made these, they tasted too sweet for me. So, the second time I omitted the sugar in the sour cream filling and half the brown sugar in the crust. Much better tasting, for me. Try ‘em with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Delicious! I didn’t have pecans so I used sliced almonds and ground coarsely. My husband just ate half the pan so this recipe is a keeper. Thank you so much!
Sounds really good to me. Thank you
My first attempt at these, found them to bevery runny without much flavor.
I made a second batch replacing the sour cream with the same amount, 1/2 cup of cream cheese and only using about half of the pie filling. They turned out great.
Can these be frozen?
Your recipes always look so wonderful, and these lovely bars are no exception. Delightful.
I love all things cherries so these immediately have my heart. Such a perfect balance of textures and flavors.
These look delicious! I am pinning them to try 🙂
