BLACKBERRY CRUMB BARS

Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 & 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided into 1 cup and 3/4 cup
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided into 1/4 teaspoons
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
10 ounces blackberries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan. Line bottom with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides. Butter and flour paper, and tap out excess. Whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add 1 cup of flour and mix with a fork until moist crumbs form. Refrigerate. Whisk together 3/4 cup flour, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside. Using an electric mixer, beat softened butter, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla until ligh and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat well. Reduce mixer speed to low, and mix in flour mixture. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Sprinkle with blackberries. Then, sprinkle with chilled topping. Bake 40-45 minutes, until golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with moist crumbs attached. Cool completely in pan. Then, remove from pan using the overhanging parchment paper. Cut into squares.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh blackberries. If you don't have fresh blackberries, you can use frozen blackberries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • To make the crumb topping, use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use your hands, but be careful not to overwork the dough.
  • When pressing the crumb topping onto the blackberry mixture, use your fingertips to gently press it down. This will help to keep the topping from becoming too dense.
  • Bake the blackberry crumb bars until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. This will take about 45 minutes.
  • Let the blackberry crumb bars cool completely before cutting them into bars. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Blackberry crumb bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple combination of fresh blackberries, a sweet crumb topping, and a buttery crust. These bars are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
