Blackberry Pie Bars

unsalted butter, melted

sugar

brown sugar

vanilla

lemon

flour

tsp baking soda

tsp salt

cinnamon

salt

Tbsp arrowroot starch (or 1 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch)

blackberries,

lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Whisk together melted butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest until combined.

Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl; add to butter mixture and fold in until incorporated. Reserve 3/4 cup of dough for topping (keep chilled); press remaining dough evenly into bottom of prepared pan. Bake crust for 14 to 16 minutes, until lightly golden and set. Transfer to a wire rack and cool for 15 minutes.

For the filling, combine sugar, salt, and arrowroot starch in a medium bowl. Add blackberries, lemon zest, and juice, tossing gently to combine. Spoon mixture over cooled crust and crumble reserved dough over filling.

Bake for another 40 to 44 minutes, or until topping is golden and filling slightly bubbly. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Just before cutting, chill in the freezer for 10 minutes. Carefully lift parchment and place bars on a cutting board; cut into squares with a sharp knife.

These were delicious!  Next time I will add more blackberries.

I made this for dinner last night. My son in law (who is a chef) said it was the nicest pudding he’d had in ages. I shall make it again but will reduce the sugar in the filling quite a lot. In the UK we don’t like our food as sweet as in the USA.

I am very pleased to have a new blackberry recipe though; I pick loads in the late Summer, freeze them and then use them all winter in pies. Free pudding ( well almost) what could be better.

These bars turned out so well!  I used gluten free flour with no issues. The touch of lemon in these really makes it.

Absolutely delicious bars! I used half blackberries, half blueberries.

The most delicious bars and perfect with vanilla ice cream!

These were great!  I cut the sugar to about 2/3 of what the recipe called for and added about an extra cup of blackberries. Will definitely make again.
