Categories     Bars

Time 3h20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
3/4 cup (240g) raspberry preserves*
12-16 fresh raspberries*
1/2 cup (40g) old-fashioned oats
1/3 cup (70g) packed light or dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup (31g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
optional (but encouraged!): vanilla icing for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F (149°C). Line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang on all sides. Set aside.
  • Stir the melted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add the flour and stir until everything is combined. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the crust from the oven, and turn the oven up to 350°F (177°C).
  • Spread preserves over warm crust. Dot the preserves with raspberries on top.
  • Whisk the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour together in a medium bowl. Cut in the chilled butter with a pastry blender or two forks (or even with your hands) until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the filling with streusel and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the streusel is golden brown. The raspberry filling should be bubbling on the edges.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 20 minutes at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or overnight). Lift the foil or parchment out of the pan using the overhang on the sides and cut into bars. I usually cut them into 16 smaller bars, but you can cut them into 12 larger bars. Drizzle the bars with vanilla icing, if using. These raspberry bars can be enjoyed at room temperature or cold. I personally like them cold.

APPLE-RASPBERRY CRUMB BARS



Apple-Raspberry Crumb Bars image

Craving both cookies and pie? A classic crumb bar is just what you need! It's got a tender, sweet, cookie base; real fruit filling; and toothsome, oaty crumbs on top. It's more portable than pie and more satisfying than a cookie. What to do when your favorite fruit is out of season? Make your way to your supermarket's frozen fruit aisle. Since frozen fruit has been picked at peak ripeness, it's reliably sweet and delicious and often a better value than fresh.

Time 2h45m

Yield 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 small apples, peeled, cored and chopped (about 2 1/2 cups)
2 cups frozen raspberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pan
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup packed light-brown or dark-brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch square baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In a medium bowl, beat the butter and the brown sugar with an electric mixture on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg. Spread about two-thirds of the batter evenly over the bottom of the prepared pan with an offset spatula. Bake the bottom crust until it is golden brown, 24 to 26 minutes. Mix the remaining batter with the oats and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the apples, raspberries and sugar and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is bubbling and the fruit has broken down, 5 to 6 minutes. In a small bowl, mix about 3 tablespoons of the fruit mixture with the cornstarch until smooth. Add the cornstarch mixture to the fruit and simmer for another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the jam from the heat and let cool slightly.
  • Top the bottom crust with the fruit and spread it out evenly. Top the fruit with the oat crumb mixture, squeezing it to make some larger clumps. Bake until the top is golden brown, 28 to 32 minutes. Transfer the pan to a rack to cool completely. Using the parchment, lift out the entire bar mixture and place it on a cutting board. Cut into squares.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh apples and raspberries.
  • If you don't have fresh raspberries, you can use frozen raspberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the dough from spreading too much in the oven.
  • To make sure the crumb topping is evenly distributed, use a fork to crumble it over the top of the dough.
  • Bake the bars until the crust is golden brown and the crumb topping is set. This will take about 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
