Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Start by making the crust. In a medium bowl, stir together the 2 cups flour, 2 tablespoons white sugar, lemon zest and salt. Cut in the 1/2 cup butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat egg and vanilla together; stir into the crumb mixture until a dough forms. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.
- Sprinkle blueberries over the crust. Combine the 1/4 cup sugar and nutmeg; sprinkle over the blueberries. Make the topping: In a medium bowl, cream together the 5 tablespoons butter and brown sugar until smooth. Mix in the flour, so that the mixture is crumbly like streusel. Sprinkle over the blueberry layer.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until browned. Cool and then dust with confectioners' sugar before cutting into bars.

Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries: Fresh blueberries are ideal for this recipe, but frozen blueberries can also be used. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them completely before using.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will make it easier to handle and will help the bars hold their shape.
- Bake the bars until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: The bars are done baking when the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. A toothpick inserted into the center of the filling should come out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: The bars need to cool completely before they can be cut. Otherwise, they will be too soft and will fall apart.
Conclusion:
Blueberry Crumb Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple cream cheese crust, a sweet and tangy blueberry filling, and a buttery crumb topping. The bars are best served chilled and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
