Description
A harmony of tart huckleberries and sweet, buttery crumble. These bars balance a tender crust, jammy filling, and crisp topping, perfect for desserts or snacks with a vibrant American twist.
Ingredients
1-3/4 cups (225 grams) all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (for crumble) + 1/8 teaspoon (for filling)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons (75 grams) granulated sugar (for crumble) + 1/2 cup (100 grams) (for filling)
1 cup unsalted butter, melted (for crumble)
4 cups fresh huckleberries
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Mix crust: Combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 tsp baking powder, 1/8 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 2 tbsp sugar in a bowl. Stir in 1/4 cup melted butter until crumbly.
Spread half the mixture into the prepared dish. Press evenly, then bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.
Prepare filling: Toss huckleberries with cornstarch and 2 tbsp granulated sugar.
Sprinkle filling over partially baked crust. Dot with tablespoons of melted butter.
Combine remaining flour, 2 tbsp sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and remaining salt for topping. Mix with 1/2 cup melted butter until crumbly. Spread over berries.
Bake at 375°F for 35-40 minutes until golden and bubbly. Cool completely before cutting into 16 bars.
Notes
Melt butter for even crumb texture. Par-baked crust prevents sogginess. Use frozen huckleberries (thaw and drain) if fresh not available. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
