Blueberry Dessert Squares

These delightful blueberry dessert squares are a perfect combination of sweet, tangy, and crumbly.

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes

For the Blueberry Filling:

• 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg

For the Crumble Topping:

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes

Instructions:

1. Make the crust: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the crumbs into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan.

2. Prepare the blueberry filling: In a medium bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss to coat the blueberries evenly.

3. Assemble the dessert: Pour the blueberry filling over the prepared crust.

4. Make the crumble topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, brown sugar, and butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to crumble the mixture together.

5. Top the dessert: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the blueberry filling.

6. Bake: Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

7. Cool and serve: Let the dessert cool completely before cutting into squares. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
