 I have been scouring Pinterest and the world wide web for some oh so yummy dessert bars.

I found such a yummy, creamy and crumbly dessert that I hope everyone makes for themselves, because they are DELICIOUS. They are Strawberry Pie Sour Cream Crumb Bars. I found the recipe on The Recipe Critic 's blog. I have also included it down below. Enjoy, because I know I am as I am eating one as we speak. Yum Yum!!!

 

Strawberry Pie Sour Cream Crumb Bars

Step 1: Mix together the brown sugar, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add in butter until incorporated. (I forgot to take a picture before I put most of it in the pan, so there should be about 3 times as much as this)

 

Step 2: Press all but about a cup of the crust onto the bottom of a greased and floured 8x8 pan. (I also forgot to take a picture of just the crust pressed in by itself)

Step3: Mix together the sour cream, sugar, flour, egg and vanilla. Spread evenly over crust.

Step 4: Spoon the strawberry pie filling over the sour cream filling and gently swirl. 

Step 5: Sprinkle remaining crust over the strawberry swirl. Bake at 375 degrees for 25-28 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely and cut into squares.

Strawberry Pie Sour Cream Crumb Bars

Crust:

• 1/2 c butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
• 1/2 c light brown sugar
• 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt

Filling:

• 1 c strawberry pie filling (or any kind you would like)
• 1/2 c sour cream
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 Tbsp all purpose flour
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1.  Preheat oven to 375 and prepare an 8x8 square pan by lining with parchment paper and spraying with cooking spray.

2.  Make the crust by whisking together in a medium bowl the flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt.  Add the melted butter.  The dough will be crumbly but make sure all of the butter is incorporated.

3.  Reserve 3/4 cup of the crust and press the remaining into the bottom of your 8x8 prepared baking pan.

4.  For the sour cream filling, mix together in a large bowl the sour cream, sugar, 1 Tbsp flour, egg, and vanilla.  Pour over the crust in your 8x8 pan.

5.  Spoon your pie filling over the sour cream and gently swirl with the sour cream filling with a spoon.

6.  Sprinkle your reserved 3/4 cup crust over the top and bake for 25-28 minutes or until golden brown.  Cool completely and serve into squares.  Store in the refrigerator up to 3 days. :)
