Berry Crumb Bars are so good and you can use any kind of berries. I used raspberries, blueberries and blackberries for these bars.

  • Prep: 15 mins
  • Cook: 45 mins
  • Yields: Makes 20 to 24 bars

Ingredients

For the Crumb Crust

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt

1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

1 egg

For the Berry Filling

4 cups fresh berries

½ cup granulated sugar

4 tsp cornstarch

Juice of one lemon

Directions

1Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Make the Crumb

1In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Use a fork or pastry cutter to blend in the butter, and then the egg (the dough will be crumbly). Press half of dough into the prepared pan.

2In a separate large bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. Gently fold in the blueberries to coat evenly with the sugar mixture. Spread the blueberry mixture evenly over the crust, drizzling any excess juice in the bowl over the filling. Crumble the remaining dough evenly over the blueberry layer.

3Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is light golden brown. Cool completely before cutting into squares. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
