Blueberry Pie Bars



If I were a Blueberry, I would want to land my big blue butt in this pan...what a way to go out...if your a Blueberry I mean.  Seriously, these are some killer bar cookies...and easy?...oh, get me started! 

 I found several variations of this recipe on Pinterest (cause' that's where all the groovy recipes are).   I eventually settled on Kleinworth & Co. version.  Why?.. well they had the best picture of course so they must be the best, turns out I was right!

 You can use fresh or frozen blueberries and I'll just bet you could substitute Raspberries, Apples or Peaches...oh yum, Peaches sound perfect for next time!



Blueberry Pie Bars

Topping

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2  cup sugar
pinch salt
1 1/2 sticks cold butter (cubed)


Filling

 2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup sour cream
pinch salt
3 cups fresh blueberries

Instructions

Grease 9x13 glass baking dish- set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Add flour, sugar, salt and cubed butter to mixing bowl, beat until combined and crumbly.

Take 1 cup of mixture and set aside. (I really tried to forget this step so I'm giving you a visual)

  • Take remaining mixture and firmly press into your baking dish, covering the bottom. Bake 15 minutes.
  • While crust is baking- whisk eggs in a large bowl.
  • Add sugar, sour cream, flour and salt.
  • Gently fold in blueberries. (if frozen, you may want to wait just until you are ready to pour into the crust so they don't go all purple on ya)
  • When crust is ready - remove from oven and add filling. Gently spooning over the top of the crust.
  • Sprinkle with remaining crust mixture you had set aside.
  • Bake 1 hour or until top is lightly browned.
  • Cool a bit before serving to make easier to cut.
  • Print and save this recipe...your going to be making it a lot!
