If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use two forks to cut the butter into the flour.
You can use any type of fruit you like in these bars. Some popular choices include apples, blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries.
If you're using fresh fruit, be sure to wash and dry it thoroughly before adding it to the bars.
You can adjust the amount of sugar in the bars to your liking. If you like your bars less sweet, you can reduce the amount of sugar by 1/4 cup.
These bars can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
