Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

CRUST
1 - 1 /2 c flour
3/4 c sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1 - 1/2 stick butter, chilled
FILLING
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c sour cream
1 Tbsp orange zest
6 Tbsp flour
1/2 tsp vanilla
8 - 9 oz fresh blackberries, or you could use frozen
2 eggs
pinch salt

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Grease an 9 x 9 baking pan, set aside.
2. Combine the flour, sugar, and salt. ( I used my food processor for this step ). Cut the butter into 1/2-inch cubes, and add to the flour mixture. Using a fork for pastry cutter or food processor, cut the butter in until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside 3/4 cup of crumbs for topping.
3. Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of the pan, and bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes.
4. Beat the eggs in a large bowl, then add the white and brown sugar, sour cream, flour, salt, orange zest and vanilla extract. Gently fold in the berries and pour the mixture over the cooled crust.
5. Sprinkle the remaining crumbs evenly over the fruit filling. Bake for 35 - 45 minutes.
6. Cool well before cutting. I serve these alone or with a scoop of ice cream, after warming the bars in the microwave. Enjoy!

Tips and Conclusion

Tips:

For a crispier crust, pre-bake the crust for 10-12 minutes before adding the filling.
If you don't have fresh blackberries, you can use frozen or canned blackberries.
To make the filling ahead of time, combine the blackberries, sugar, and cornstarch in a bowl and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
For a more intense flavor, use a combination of different types of berries, such as raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries.
If you want a sweeter filling, add more sugar to taste.
Serve the bars warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Blackberry bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple crust and a sweet and tart filling, and they can be customized to your own liking. Whether you like them classic or with a twist, these bars are sure to be a hit.
