Easy and Tasty Blueberry Pie Bars Recipe

by

We love any kind of homemade pie. But making a delicious pie can often be a labor of love. A lot of work goes into a delicious pie. But these Blueberry Pie Bars are so easy to make and are tastier than a slice of blueberry pie. Enjoy these bars with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and it’s absolutely amazing.

You will be hooked on these Blueberry Pie bars after one bite. The pie crust layer is similar to a buttery shortbread. It’s absolutely amazing. It beats pie crust any day!

We used plump and juicy blueberries from the produce department. The fresh blueberries release their own juice and burst into the sweetest filling.

You don’t need great pie baking skills to make blueberry pie bars. We topped them off with a sweet crumble layer and a drizzle of glaze.

As listed in the recipe, we used fresh juicy blueberries in this recipe. They add just the right amount of sweetness.

Frozen blueberries should work fine in this recipe too. Be sure to thaw them and drain off any excess liquid.

We prefer fresh over frozen, but knowing you can make this dessert when fresh blueberries are not in season is a great option. You would still need the same amount of berries when using frozen.

Blueberry Pie Bars are great for summer desserts because they can withstand the summer heat. They are great for holidays, parties, and picnics.

A great dessert all year round, or for any celebration. You can easily make them the day before and keep them in an airtight container. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.

They also freeze well for up to a month in an airtight freezer container.
