Gather the ingredients.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

To make the crust: Blend 2 cups flour, softened butter, and 1/2 cup sugar in a medium bowl until well combined.

4

Press crust into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13-inch pan.

5

Bake crust in the preheated oven until firm and golden, about 15 minutes.

7

Pour filling over the baked crust.
