This is a really easy recipe that my mom made before the lemon bar 'rage' was on! Thick-skinned lemons work the best. I suggest using real butter and eggs, I've tried using eggbeaters--nowhere near as good!

Tips:

  • For a more intense lemon flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender or a pastry blender to combine the ingredients for the crust.
  • Be sure to chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help it to not stick to the pan and will make it easier to work with.
  • If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking pan, you can use a 10-inch springform pan.
  • Be sure to bake the bars until they are set in the center. This will prevent them from being too runny.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Lemon pie bars are a delicious and refreshing dessert that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their bright citrus flavor and creamy texture, lemon pie bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
