Ingredients

For the crust and topping:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the filling:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray. This will prevent sticking and help achieve an even bake.
  2. Make the crust mixture: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt. Add the chilled, cubed butter and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to beat until the mixture turns crumbly and resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Set aside topping and bake crust: Reserve 1 cup of the crumbly mixture for topping later. Press the remaining mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Bake this crust layer for 15 minutes to set it.
  4. Prepare the filling: While the crust is baking, use a clean large bowl to beat the eggs with an electric mixer until frothy. Add the sugar, sour cream, flour, and salt to the eggs and mix until thoroughly combined. Gently stir in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to crush them.
  5. Assemble and bake the bars: Spoon the blueberry filling evenly over the pre-baked crust. Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the filling, creating a streusel-like topping. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the topping turns a beautiful golden brown and the filling is set.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the bars from the oven and allow them to cool for about 1 hour before slicing. This cooling time helps the bars set properly for clean, neat slices. Enjoy your delicious blueberry pie bars!

Notes

  • Make sure to chill the butter well before mixing to ensure a crumbly crust texture.
  • Gently fold in the blueberries to avoid breaking them and turning the filling too purple.
  • For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the filling.
  • These bars keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
  • Cut bars after they have fully cooled for clean slices.
