Easy Blueberry Pie Bars in Minutes
Do you have a cake mix and a can of blueberry pie filling in the pantry? If so within no time at all you can have these delicious blueberry pie bars, that are an all-star recipe!
These items I consider staples in our home because these bars are go-to. You can whip them up so quick and easy, it makes for a great dessert.
Boxed cake mixes come in handy in our home, you can toss in some pie fillings create cobblers, dump cakes, and even bars like this. When they go on sale, I like to stock up, so that I have some mixes on hand.
My two favorites to buy are yellow and chocolate cake mixes, they are the best for revamping into decadent desserts like this! When you take a basic cake mix from a box and add in new ingredients, it can create a fancy new dessert that your guest will be reaching for seconds!
You can make these bars truly so fast, just with the butter you cut it into the cake mix, press all but one cup of the mix into the baking dish, spread the filling over, and then sprinkle the remainder of the cake crust mix on top and bake.
Then bake and when you pull out of the oven, you have these delicious bars!

I have fresh blueberries; do you have recipe where I can use them? Thanks.
Keith says
Thanks for the recipe! I added fresh blueberries and it is in the oven now. Smells amazing!
Nanette says
This look wonderful, however 9 x 13 pan are a lot of bars. Can this be made in an 8 x 8 pan?
Janel says
Sure, they’ll just be thicker!
Nanette says
Thanks Janel. Obviously this will also affect the baking time.
Jim Johnson says
You will have just as much using a smaller pan! They will be thicker, but the volume staysche same! Freeze some if it makes too many.
Michelle says
Do you still mix the cake mix the regular way before pouring it in the dish?
Janel says
Nope, you won’t mix up the dry cake mix with water or oil or anything else. Just use the dry mix with butter to make a crumbly topping!
Kathie Turpin says
Thank you!! I love blueberries, and like a “bar” when I am working!!
Terri says
Do these need to be refrigerated? I’ll be making them the day before.
Eileen Keefe says
Will this work with cherry pie filling ?
Janel says
Sure!

Good evening,
I know this is your recipes and the people who comment loves your recipe. But I am sorry and please forgive me I am not a blueberry person. I do love strawberry and lemon. So I was wondering if I could use strawberry pie filling or lemon pie filling to make this recipe. Once again please don’t send me comments. Everyone else has their preference. With warmest regards, Sylvia
Janel says
Of course! I think Strawberry pie filling would work great. I’m not positive how Lemon pie filling would turn out, but give it a shot!
Jody Kramer says
Do you think you could use a white cake mix?
JD Simone says
Great ideas for a tired old lady with a sweet tooth! Thank you!
Catherine says
You don’t mention what size the box of cake mix is or the can of pie filling.
I’m wondering if it makes a difference cause I just tried making the recipe and the cake mix as well as the filling barely cover the baking dish. Wish I had used a smaller one.
Donna says
I just made this today. It was very easy and came out perfect and was soooooo delicious! Thank you so much for such a great recipe! I will be trying with lemon filling next .
