Description

These Easy Blueberry Pie Bars combine a buttery crumbly crust with a sweet and tangy blueberry filling, baked to golden perfection. Perfect for a simple dessert or snack, these bars offer the classic flavor of blueberry pie in a convenient, sliceable form.

Ingredients

Crust and Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • Pinch salt
  • 3/4 cup cold butter, cut into cubes

Filling

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Pinch salt
  • 3 cups fresh blueberries (Frozen can be substituted)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Dish: Spray a 9x13 glass baking dish with non-stick spray and set aside to ensure the bars don't stick.
  2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to get it ready for baking the crust and filling.
  3. Make Crust Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and cubed cold butter. Beat until combined and crumbly, taking care not to overmix to avoid a cookie dough consistency.
  4. Set Aside Topping: Remove one cup of the flour mixture and set it aside for the topping later.
  5. Form the Crust: Press the remaining flour mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, covering it evenly.
  6. Bake Crust: Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes or until it feels firm to the touch without any browning on the sides, as it will continue baking later.
  7. Mix Filling: While the crust is baking, whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Add sugar, sour cream, flour, and a pinch of salt, then stir to combine.
  8. Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, wait to fold them in just before pouring the filling over the crust to prevent blue batter coloring.
  9. Assemble Bars: Once the crust is done, remove from the oven. Spoon the blueberry filling evenly over the crust.
  10. Add Topping: Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the blueberry filling.
  11. Bake Bars: Bake uncovered for 1 hour or until the topping is lightly browned and the filling is set.
  12. Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute frozen blueberries for fresh; just avoid mixing them into the filling too early to prevent discoloration.
  • Using cold butter is key for achieving a crumbly crust texture.
  • Allow bars to cool to ensure clean slicing and to let flavors meld.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
