Lemon-Blueberry Crumb Bars image

From Food and Family magazine. These were an absolute hit with the family, they were so light and buttery. I substitued blackberries, but I think any fresh fruit would be great. NOTE: I add a little extra lemon zest and lemon juice to crust and cream cheese filling. Also added a little extra sugar to the cream cheese filling.
