Blackberry Pie Bars

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 350°; grease a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

   Make the crust/topping: in the bowl of a food processor fitted with metal blade, combine the flour, sugar, and salt; process until combined, about 45 seconds.
3. 3
   Cut the butter into 1/2 inch cubes; process the butter with the flour mixture for 30-60 seconds, until the butter is evenly distributed but the mixture is still crumbly.
4. 4
   Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the crust mixture to use as the topping.
5. 5
   Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of the pan; bake for 12-15 minutes until it is golden brown; cool for at least 10 minutes.
6. 6
   Make the filling: in a large bowl, whisk the eggs; then add in the sugar, sour cream, flour, and salt.
7. 7
   Gently fold in the black berries; spoon mixture evenly over the crust.
8. 8
   Sprinkle the reserved crust mixture evenly over the filling.
9. 9
   Bake for 45-55 minutes, until the top is lightly browned.
