These delicious Mixed Berry Pie Bars combine your favorite fresh berries with a buttery crust and crumble. It’s all the flavor of a pie without the hassle of making a pie crust!
Ingredients
Crust and Crumble Topping
1 2/3 cups all purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
12 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
Fruit Filling
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
2 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sour cream
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease (or line with parchment paper) a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Prepare the crust/topping. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 2/3 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, and the cubed butter until crumbly. Set aside 1-1 1/4 cups of the dough for crumble topping.
Firmly press the remainder of the dough into the baking dish, evenly covering the bottom. Bake crust at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup of flour, and sour cream. Mix well. Beat in the eggs. Gently fold in berries.
Once the crust is baked, remove it from the oven, and gently spoon the filling over the crust while it is hot. Sprinkle the dough that was set aside over the top of the filling mixture. Bake for 1 hour until the filling is bubbling and the crust is lightly golden-brown.
Serve warm or allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting it into individual servings. Makes 12 servings.
Notes:
• Store in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Equal amounts of brown sugar or stevia can be used to substitute white sugar.
• Frozen berries can be used in place of fresh berries. The trick is to keep them frozen so that they don’t bleed into the filling mixture.
