Ingredients

Scale

*For the shortbread crust:*

  • 1 ¼ cups unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp kosher salt

*For the crumble:*

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter (diced)

*For the blueberry filling:*

  • 5 cups blueberries
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tsp cornstarch


Instructions

*For the shortbread crust:*

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a stand mixer, blend all shortbread crust ingredients until combined; don’t worry if it seems dry. Press the dough evenly into the pan, using floured hands. Poke with a fork and par-bake for 18 minutes.

*For the crumble:*

  1. While the crust is par-baking, whip up the crumble. In a food processor, combine dry ingredients and pulse three times.
  2. Add cold, diced butter one piece at a time, pulsing until the mixture resembles wet sand (about 1 minute). Refrigerate until needed.

*For the blueberry filling:*

  1. In a large bowl, mix all blueberry filling ingredients until evenly combined.

*For assembly:*

  1. Once the crust is done par-baking, remove it from the oven. Spread the blueberry filling evenly, then sprinkle on the crumble.
  2. Return to the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, until the crumble is golden and the filling is bubbling.
  3. Allow it to cool completely before cutting into 12 slices and serving!
