Ingredients

The following ingredients have 16 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar (divided)
  • dash of salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cubed and cold)
  • 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 egg (slightly beaten)
  • 4 cups fresh blueberries (washed and dried)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease an 8x8 baking dish or line with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl or base of a food processor fitted with an s-blade, combine the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and dash of salt. Using the food processor, pulse until the mixture is crumbly, and butter is distributed evenly. Alternatively use 2 forks or a pastry blender to mix the butter into the flour mixture. Reserve 1/2 cup of the mixture for later. With the remaining batter, press it evenly into the baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • While crust is baking, mix together sour cream, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, vanilla and egg together in a large mixing bowl. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  • When the crust comes out of the oven, pour the blueberry batter over the crust and sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup crust batter over the berry mixture evenly. Return to the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until pie bars are set and crumble over top is slightly browned.
  • Allow the bars to cool for at least an hour before slicing. The bars are BEST if enjoyed after refrigerating for 12 hours before slicing and enjoying.
