Blackberry Crumb Bars
Description
The crust and crumb topping are made by pulsing flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cold butter, and egg yolk in a food processor until crumbly dough forms. Half the dough presses into the prepared pan to form an even base. Fresh blackberries tossed with lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch provide a juicy filling that thickens during baking. The remaining crumb mixture is spread on top to nestle around the berries.
When baked at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, the bars develop a golden crust with a tender interior where the blackberries soften and meld with the crumb layers. The lemon juice adds brightness, balancing the sweetness.
These bars can be cooled and sliced, served alone or with cream or ice cream for dessert or snacking.
