Blueberry Cream Cheese Crumb Bars Recipe 435

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch pan.
• In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup sugar, 3 cups flour, and baking powder. Mix in salt and cinnamon, if desired. Use a fork or pastry cutter to blend in the shortening and egg. Dough will be crumbly. Pat half of dough into the prepared pan.
• In another bowl, stir together the sugar and cornstarch. Gently mix in the blueberries. Sprinkle the blueberry mixture evenly over the crust. Crumble remaining dough over the berry layer.
• Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until top is slightly brown. Cool completely before cutting into squares.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Combine flour, oats, 1 cup sugar, cinnamon, and baking soda in a large bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve about 2 cups flour-butter mixture. Press remaining mixture into the prepared baking dish to form a crust.
• Bring blueberries, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice to a boil in a saucepan, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened, about 2 minutes. Spread blueberry mixture over crust and sprinkle with reserved oat mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until topping is just browned, about 25 minutes. Cool before cutting and serving.

Steps:

• 1. Grease a 9 x 13 pan and pre-heat oven to 350. For the filling, beat together cream cheese and sugar.

• 5. Add the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream into the wet batter until well blended.
• 6. Pour half the batter into a well-greased 9x13 pan.
• 7. Spread the cream cheese filling over the batter.
• 8. Place about a pint of blueberries, I use a little more, over the cream cheese mixture. Cover the cream cheese layer with remaining batter.
• 9. For the crumb topping, using a pastry blender combine cold butter, flour and sugar until the mixture looks like small peas.
• 10. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the top of the cake. Bake in a 350 oven for 55- 60 minutes. Test in center with toothpick. DO NOT LET THE TOP GET BROWN! It will be overbaked and dry!
