| Yield: | 9 bars |
Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray, for pan
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch kosher salt
- 1 egg
- 1/2 heaping cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper so that it hangs over on two sides. Spray the parchment.
- For the crust: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the butter, sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Process until the mixture starts to come together and clump, 1 minute. Remove 3/4 cup and reserve; press the remaining crust mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan. Set aside.
- For the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, sour cream, sugar, lemon juice, flour, cornstarch, vanilla extract and cinnamon until smooth. Mix in 1 cup of the blueberries. Pour the filling mixture over the crust, shaking the pan gently to settle the custard and berries. Pour the remaining 1 cup blueberries over the top, spreading them evenly.
- Take the reserved crust and sprinkle it over the top of the berries, squeezing the mixture in your hands to encourage large lumps.
- Bake for 1 hour. Let cool. Remove the bars from the pan and cut into 9 pieces. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Big hit for the 4th of July BBQ! I cut into 16 squares and that was perfect for a small crowd of 12. Everyone loved them.
Made these with fresh blueberries. Easy to make and tasted very good. The only change I made was to increase the cinnamon in the filling. I wrapped the bars in plastic wrap and stored them in a Tupperware container in the fridge. I actually prefer eating these on the second day.
Very tasty! Loved it.
Followed the recipe exactly and it was soooo good, especially with a scoop of soft serve vanilla! I used frozen blueberries and will be making this again!
Everywhere I go everyone asks me to bring the pie bars. They’re So Delicious!
These are good. I think they are better the second day and are more of a breakfast type food to me than a dessert. Not overly sweet as others have pointed out.
Can I make these ahead and freeze them? I’m afraid that they may be soggy after defrosting.
I had some blueberries that I needed to use. I found this recipe and thought I would give it a try. It was easy and good. Not to sweet.
Just made these again and I forgot the vanilla. Still a huge hit

A MAZING. These bars are delicious. I have made them twice and I wouldn’t change a thing, although i did used plain greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Always rave reviews from eaters!!!!
Love this easy recipe❣️I used a combination of blueberries and blackberries …amazing! Will try with other fruit as mentioned in previous reviews.
