Blueberry Pie Bars are the perfect easy treat to throw together for the pie lovers in your life. No rolling pin required!
Pie is one of my husband’s favorite desserts and unfortunately I don’t really like pie… unless we are talkin’ ice cream, cheesecake, or brownie pie. It’s been tough on my pie-loving husband but lucky for him I’ve come to like blueberry pie. I serve it with ice cream so that’s probably why I like it so much but the filling is pretty good too. 
Pie really isn’t that difficult to make but it does take some time, creates lots of dirty bowls, and makes a big mess on my counters. So, to satisfy my husband’s craving and my laziness, I made these Blueberry Pie Bars… and I ate most of them! I love ’em! It’s like a soft cookie with blueberry pie filling in the middle. Mmmmm! So good!
Oh, and there is icing on top. The more sugar, the better! Right?! My daughter, like every child, thinks so.
Some people have a tough time making a good flaky tender pie dough but the dough in these bars is pretty fool proof and tastes delicious both cooked and raw. Yes. My beater was definitely licked clean… by me. 
You can keep these all for yourself/family but they are also great for feeding a crowd (way easier than making a bunch of pies!). You can eat it with your hands so it makes clean-up easier too!
What are you waiting for? Go grab a can of pie filling and make these bars! You won’t regret it one bit. I’m sure you’ll gobble these right up but if you don’t eat them all the first day, store them on the counter, just don’t cover it air tight or else it will sweat.

I took these to a dinner with friends. They were easy to make but since my oven is a bit off, took longer to bake than I thought. They were not super sweet but sweet enough and had a great texture with the blueberry pie filling and cookie base/top. Everyone liked them!
I tried apple pie filling instead of blueberry pie filling because I didn’t want to waste my fresh wild blueberries on this if the cake wasn’t good, boy was I wrong. It was so good my kids kept going on about it. I now can’t wait to make pie filling with my fresh wild blueberries, it is going to be amazing. Thank you for a new desert staple.
Can you use Apple Pie filling as well?
I think that should turn out well, Sans. Let us know how you like it!
I always wonder why people do not indicate salted or non salted butter in their recipes. Does it make a difference? I am not a baker, yet. Thanks.
I use salted butter unless specified. Either will work and taste delicious Jan!
Delicious. Looking forward to more recipes
A friend told me of your site, must say friend was right ,you have very good recipes.
Aww, thank you so much Gloria!
Do you have the directions if I want to make my own blueberry filling and not use canned? I prefer to use fresh or frozen berries. Thanks
Hi Debbie, you would try using the blueberry filling from our homemade blueberry pie!
Your nice and simple desserts are yummy. I was going to try a different fruit or even Chocolate pie filling. If you use fresh fruit you still have to cook them down(hint-hint). Thanks, DEE
Yummy ideas Dee, thanks for sharing!
Have you ever tried with fresh blueberries?
I have only made the recipe as written. If you try it with fresh, let me know how it turns out.
Can fresh blueberries be used instead of canned blueberry pie filling for the blueberry pie bars?
I have only made the recipe as written. Let me know how it turns out if you try with fresh blueberries.
Can I use strawberry/ rhubarb pie filling in place of the blueberry? Thanks
I think that sounds delicious!
Hi. This looks like a jelly roll pan instead of a 9×13. Can it be made in either size of pan? Thanks.
A jelly roll pan is larger and will cause the bars to be much thinner. This recipe is best in a 9×13. If you use a jelly roll pan, the cooking time will need to be adjusted.
Looks like a delicious recipe,I have fresh blueberries not canned ones,before I google it can you give me an idea how to make this with fresh berries instead?
My friend Lynne over at 365 Days of Baking has a great Blueberry Pie Filling recipe.
I used this filling recipe in your bars and they came out perfectly!
How do you make it with fresh blueberries?
