CRANBERRY-PEAR CRUMBLE BARS



Cranberry-Pear Crumble Bars image

Sweet pears and tart cranberries pair perfectly in these treats, which are part bar cookie, and part fruit crisp. Here, both crust and crumble topping are made from the same almond flour-rolled oat mixture mixture, giving it a nutty flavor. Precooking the filling allows the fruit to soften and release some juices ahead of time so the bottom crust stays nice and crisp. The result is a chewy, fruity cookie that just as easily a perfect afternoon snack as it is a paired with some ice cream for dessert. Choose pears that are on the firm side of ripe: Comice and Anjou both work great.

Time 1h

Yield One 9x9-inch pan

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound/454 grams pears (2 large), ripe but firm
2 cups/200 grams fresh cranberries
1/2 cup/101 grams granulated sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
2 cups/256 grams all-purpose flour
1 cup/220 grams light brown sugar, packed
1 cup/112 grams almond flour
1 cup/99 grams rolled oats
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup/227 grams unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Prepare filling: Peel, core and chop the pears into 1/2-inch pieces. You should have about 2 1/2 cups of chopped pears. Add pears, cranberries, sugar and orange juice to a heavy-bottomed skillet or saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until pears soften, cranberries burst, and juices are thickened and jammy, 7 to 10 minutes. Add vanilla, orange zest and fresh ginger and stir to combine. Remove from heat and let cool while you prepare the crust.
  • Prepare crust and crumble: In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, almond flour, oats and salt. Stir to combine. Add butter and almond extract, and stir until crumbs are well moistened.
  • Reserve about 2 1/2 cups/360 grams of the mixture for the topping. Pour remaining crumbs into prepared dish and press them into an even layer. Bake the crust until golden, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Spoon filling (it's O.K. if it's still warm) evenly over the hot crust, top with reserved crumbs, and return pan to oven. Bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the bars cool slightly before cutting and serving.

1 can (14 ounces) whole-berry cranberry sauce or 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries (7 1/2 ounces)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon cornstarch
3/4 cup cold water
6 tablespoons cranberry juice
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pan
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
1 teaspoon baking soda

Tips:

* Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. * If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries. Just thaw them before using. * Make sure the butter is cold before cutting it into the flour mixture. This will help to create a flaky crust. * Don't overmix the dough. This will make the crust tough. * Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the crust from shrinking. * Bake the bars until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. * Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

* Cranberry crumble bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. * They are made with a simple crust and a sweet and tart cranberry filling. * The bars are baked until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. * They are then cooled completely before cutting and serving. * Cranberry crumble bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
