Some desserts I make on my blog that I hope everyone will try… this is one of them! I love my cherry pie bars but these were fantastic. They were baked to perfection and I loved the strawberry pie filling swirled throughout in the sour cream. They were so easy to make and that first bite was so creamy and delicious that it gave me hope that spring… and summer is coming!

You are amazing! Just having you as a fan is awesome enough! Thanks for the comment! 🙂
My crust was soggy, should I pre bake crust first? Other than that they are great bars.
Just finished baking these delicious looking Sour Cream Filled Bars! 🙂
Could not get the recipe to print legibly for me. Should I be do something besides pinning on Pinterest?
I did this and it was perfect and delicious. I loved it.
I am so glad you loved it!!!
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve made these bars (by request) since June. If I had to guess I’d say at least 5 times. I also used the crumb topping on top of fresh peaches to make a peach crumble. Delish!
Wish you had a print option for your recipes. Don’t want to waste all the ink on pictures that I don’t need to cook!
I do have a print option now that I have moved to WordPress. The problem is I have to go back to all of my old recipes and reformat them into a recipe card with print option. Just haven’t gotten to this one yet. 🙂
I had some peaches that were so ripe they were about to spoil so I just made these with some homemade peach pie filling and I am waiting for them to come out of the oven. I just know they are going to be incredible! Thanks for the great recipe!
Oh my goodness that sounds amazing!!! I will have to try it with peaches! Yum!
looks yummy and the sour part is nice
These look lovely! I just finished dessert but I think I could eat one…or 10 of these.
I made these with cherry pie filling. Soooooo good!!!!! Im making them now with strawberry!
Ok, you win: I will try this! But….can you help me? I can’t find any pie filling where I live (in Italy) so how can I replace it? Just diced strawberries or I need to cook them previously? Mmmm…I’m looking forward to taste these bars!
You won’t regret it! They would also be good with a strawberry jam dropped by tablespoons on top and swirled into the sour cream! 🙂
Also here is a recipe for homemade strawberry jam. 😀 http://momintelligence.com/2012/04/strawberry-pie-filling/
Thanks Alyssa! I’ll try with jam! 🙂
These look absolutely over the moon amazing! I saw your recipe in Michele’s round-up at The Scrap Shoppe. Off to pin, then check out the rest of your blog.

If I wanted to use fresh strawberries could I substitute straight across for the pie filling?
I made these tonight with chopped fresh strawberries and they were good but not out of this world. The strawberries blended alot more with the sour cream stuff so it definitly didn’t look like the photo above. I think next time I would thicken the strawberries a little bit. Overall I think it was still a good easy recipe!
Yeah I really liked the strawberry pie filling because it gave it a glaze to it. But I have been also wanting to try it with homemade strawberry jam! 😀
I made these tonight and used this homemade strawberry pie filling.
