Best 6 Fruity Crumble Bars Recipes

BERRY CRUMBLE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch square baking pan with baking spray and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides of the pan (for easy removal after baking).
• For the fruit: In a medium bowl, toss together the berries, sugar, lemon zest and juice, vanilla and salt. Set aside.
• For the crumble: In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar and salt. Add the butter and use your hands to work the butter into the oat mixture until crumbly and combined.
• Press a little more than half of the crumble into your prepared pan. Pour the sugared berries over the pressed crust and top with the remaining crumble.
• Bake the bars for 25 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking until the center is bubbly and the topping is golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely, lift out of the pan and slice into 16 bars.

BERRY CRUMBLE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray. You can also line the pan with foil or parchment before greasing the pan to ensure they do not stick.
• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the light brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Pulse the mixture in the food processor a few times to incorporate the ingredients. Add in the butter and continue to pulse the food processor until the mixture comes together and small clumps form. Add in the egg and pulse again to combine.
• If you do not own a food processor, you can use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour mixture. It will take a little more time, but it is totally doable.
• Spoon half of the crumble mixture into the prepared pan and use your hands or the bottom of a measuring cup to pat the mixture into an even and compact crust layer.
• Add your berries to a large bowl and gently toss them with the lemon juice.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and cornstarch. Sprinkle the cornstarch and sugar mixture over the top of the berries and gently toss to cover the berries with the mixture. Pour berries evenly over the crust.
• Crumble the remaining crumble topping over the berries. To make little clumps, simple squeeze the crumble topping in your hand and sprinkle the crumbs to create a topping layer. Sprinkle pecans on top of crumble topping.
• Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown. Cool completely before serving.
• Serve these berry crumble bars alone, or slightly warmed up with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease one 13x9-inch pan.
• Combine 1 cup of the sugar, the flour, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, shortening, and egg. Dough will be crumbly. Pat half of the dough into the prepared pan.
• Combine the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, the cornstarch and berries. Place mixture over dough in pan. Crumble the remaining dough over the tops of the berries.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is slightly browned, about 45 minutes.

THE CRUNCHIEST SUMMER FRUIT CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Make the topping: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, oats, sugars, salt and spices. Stir in butter. Using your hands, squish mixture until coarse crumbs form. Some should be about 1/2-inch in size, some smaller.
• Spread topping in one layer onto a rimmed baking sheet. (You don't have to grease it first.) Bake until crumbs are solid when you gently poke them, and are fragrant, about 15 minutes. They won't change appearance very much. Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack to cool while you make the filling. (Crumbs can be baked up to 2 days ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.)
• Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and cornstarch until well combined. Add fruit and gently toss to coat with the sugar mixture. Pour filling into an ungreased 2-quart gratin dish or 10-inch cake pan, mounding the fruit in the center.
• Spoon crumbs over filling and place the crumble dish on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any overflowing juices. (You can use the same baking sheet you cooked the crumbs on.) Bake until filling bubbles energetically around the edges, about 55 to 65 minutes. Let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature with ice cream or whipped cream, if you like. Crumble can be made up to 8 hours ahead and kept at room temperature, or warmed up briefly in a 350-degree oven.

• Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of an ungreased, foil-lined 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 12 minutes.
• Cut large pieces of fruit in pie filling so they are smaller. Carefully spread pie filling on top of baked crust.
• Sprinkle the reserved topping mixture over the pie filling, and gently pat the mixture into the filling.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes more (I usually only do 21 minutes) or until the top is golden.
