Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a food processor, combine flour, sugar and salt.

To make the filling, whisk together sour cream, sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and egg until smooth.
Add the salt and flour and stir until thoroughly combined. Pour mixture into pan in one even layer.
Spoon 1 jar of Chukar® Sour Cherry Pie Filling on top of sour cream mixture.

Crumble the reserved dough over the top of the dish.
Bake for 40-50 minutes.
Remove from oven and let bars cool completely. Cut into 12 even squares and serve.
