Tips:

  • For a crispy crust, use a combination of all-purpose flour and almond meal. The almond meal will add a nutty flavor and a crumbly texture.
  • Be sure to chill the dough before baking. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming too soft.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the top of the dough before baking. This will help the pie bars to bake evenly.
  • Bake the pie bars until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. The filling should be slightly jiggly in the center.
  • Let the pie bars cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the filling from becoming runny.
