Instructions
Blueberry Pie Bars
To get started, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and salt.
Next, add the vanilla extract as well as the eggs, one at a time, making sure to mix in between each addition (*see note). You can add in a tablespoon or so of flour if your mixture begins to curdle.
Next, gradually mix in the flour until the dough has just combined, making sure not to overmix it. Set aside 1 cup of the finished dough to be used for the topping.
In the prepared baking dish, spread out your dough so that it covers the entire bottom of the pan in an even layer. Then spread the blueberry pie filling over the top. Finally, using the reserved cup of dough, drop spoonfuls over the top of the blueberry filling.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes. It is done when the bars have turned to a golden-brown color and the dough on top is completely baked. Transfer the pan to a wire cooling rack. Allow the bars to cool completely before topping them with the vanilla glaze.
Vanilla Glaze
In a small mixing bowl, add in the confectioner's sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream. Stir gently to combine and then adjust the consistency by adding more cream or sugar as needed until the glaze can easily be drizzled.
Once the blueberry pie bars are completely cooled, you can use a spoon to drizzle the vanilla glaze on top. Cut the bars into squares to serve.
Notes
If you're out of canned blueberry pie filling, try my easy homemade blueberry pie filling!
Store any remaining blueberry pie bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days (without the glaze). If you are adding dairy-based glaze, your pie bars should be refrigerated.
To freeze your blueberry pie bars, don't add the glaze until after they have thawed out. Wrap the bars in heavy-duty aluminum foil and then transfer them into a sealable freezer-safe bag. Thaw them overnight in the fridge and enjoy them within 3 months of freezing.
