Blueberry Pie Bars

Blueberry Pie Bars – all the juicy, buttery, sweet-tart magic of pie, packed into an easy bar form that doesn’t ask for much. No chilling. No fancy crust work. Just one bowl, a handful of simple ingredients, and about 10 minutes of effort. My kind of baking.

Pie bars > actual pie? Let’s discuss.

If blueberry pie and a buttery sugar cookie had a baby, this would be it.

You’ve got all the good parts of pie (juicy filling, golden crust) without any of the fuss. No rolling pins. No lattices. Just a quick, one bowl dough that doubles as the crust and the streusel-y topping! Lazy baking, but make it delicious.

These blueberry pie bars are the kind of treat that feel right at home at a backyard BBQ, tuckeed into a lunch box, or eaten cold from the fridge bite by bite every time you walk past the kitchen.

These pie bars are soft, sweet, a little tart from the berries, and perfectly buttery.

Ingredient Notes:

Dough & Topping: We’re keeping life simple here and having the ‘crust’ pull double duty! You’ll press half of it flat into the pan and then crumble the rest of it over the top. Beyond easy and perfect for streusel lovers (hi, it’s me).

Filling: This isn’t your standard blueberry pie filling…it’s rich and creamy thanks to the addition of sour cream. Bakes up thick and jammy and delightful! And yes, you can use canned pie filling if you’re in a rush – no judgement.

Swaps & Tips:

No Blueberries? Try raspberries or blackberries! You could also use just about any flavor of canned pie filling!

Want a citrus pop? Add some lemon zest to the filling!

Cutting Clean Bars: Chill the blueberry pie bars first for a nice clean cut.

Step by Step:

Add the dough ingredients to a stand mixer and beat with a paddle attachment until the dough is coarse and crumbly. You can use a hand mixer too!

Press half of the dough into the bottom of a 9×9 baking dish and bake for about 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Let cool for 10 minutes.

Prepare the filling by adding the filling ingredients, without blueberries, to a mixing bowl and whisking them together. Fold in the blueberries after mixing.

Pour the blueberry pie filling over the baked crust in the baking dish. Use your hands to grab chunks of the remaining dough and sprinkle over the top of the filling as a streusel like topping and bake!
