Ingredients

For the Crust and Topping

3 cups all purpose flour
1 ½ cup white sugar
Zest of one large lemon
1 ½ cups salted butter, cold

For the Filling

4 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups white sugar
1 cup greek yogurt
¾ cup all purpose flour
⅛ teaspoon salt
Juice of one large lemon
2 tsp. vanilla extract
30 oz any mixture of fresh blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F. Generously grease a 9x13 pan along bottom and sides. Set aside.
In bowl of a food processor, lightly pulse together the flour, sugar, and lemon zest just until blended.
Cut cold butter into slices and add to bowl. With a few short pulses, cut the butter into flour mixture just until mixture is crumbly. Small bits of butter remaining is fine. Alternatively, you can use a pastry cutter if you don't have a food processor. Set aside 1 1/2 cups of the flour/butter mixture for the topping.
Pour the rest of the flour mixture into bottom of prepared baking pan. Press firmly for an even layer of crust on bottom of pan. It's easy to press evenly with the flat bottom of a water glass or ramekin.
Bake crust about 15 minutes or until golden. Remove baked crust from oven, but keep oven on.
Combine eggs, sugar, Greek yogurt, flour, salt, lemon juice, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
Carefully fold in the berries with rubber spatula. Gently spread filling over the baked crust. Sprinkle reserved topping over the filling, to make an even layer of crumble topping.
Bake about 75 min to 90 min or until topping turns golden and bars are set. Cool completely at room temp before putting in fridge to chill. Chill several hours or overnight. Cut and serve cold.

Notes

When zesting the lemon, make sure to only zest the yellow part. If you get too much of the white underneath, the bars may taste a little bitter.
Berry Crumble Bars are best enjoyed chilled. We recommend letting the bars sit in the fridge overnight before slicing. If you prefer them warm, you can definitely heat them in the microwave, but be sure to let them chill first so they can set.
If you're wanting to go all out with these Berry Crumble Bars, serve a square with a scoop of Creamy Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and a dollop of Stabilized Whipped Cream.
