My Grandmother Addie made these bars for family picnics and enjoyed watching her grandchildren try to resist them. But all it took was just one bite...then one bar didn't seem to satisfy. They disappeared in a flash.-Mary Nickerson, Ellington, Connecticut

WHOLE-WHEAT BARS WITH RASPBERRY JAM



Whole-Wheat Bars with Raspberry Jam image

These soft bars filled with raspberry jam are more virtuous than many coffee-break treats. Applesauce gives the cookies a cakelike texture; whole-wheat flour and wheat bran add wholesome notes. Lemon zest balances the sweetness of the berry jam.

Yield Makes about 2 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/4 cup wheat bran
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2/3 cup packed dark-brown sugar
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
1/4 cup smooth unsweetened applesauce
1 cup raspberry jam

Steps:

  • Whisk together flours, bran, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl; set aside. Put brown sugar and zest in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until combined. Beat in butter until fluffy. Beat in egg until pale and smooth. Reduce speed to low. Mix in the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the applesauce. Divide dough in half; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out 1 piece of dough between 2 lightly floured sheets of parchment to a 9 1/2-by-11 1/2-inch rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick. If dough becomes too soft, refrigerate until firm. Remove top piece of parchment. Trim dough 1/2 inch on all sides. Transfer rectangle on parchment to a baking sheet.
  • Cut rectangle in half lengthwise. Spread 1/4 cup jam down half of each length, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Fold dough over; pinch to seal. Refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes. Repeat with remaining chilled dough and jam.
  • Cut crosswise into 1 1/2-inch-wide bars, but do not separate until after baking. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool on sheet on a wire rack. Bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Got this recipe from a friend who "adapted/adopted" it from Pillsbury. Everyone in our building loves these and I make them a special batch at Christmas and for Valentine's Day.

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 1h30m

Yield 25 bars

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened to room temp
1 cup flour
1 (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened to room temp
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon almond extract (I use 1/2 tsp. almond and 1/2 tsp. vanilla, butter and nut extract)
1 large egg
1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam, red

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare an 8 inch square baking pan by spraying it with non stick spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine crust ingredients until well blended.
  • Press into the bottom of the pan and bake for 15-20 minutes (depending on your oven) until the edges are lightly brown.
  • While the crust is baking, combine the filling ingredients in a large bowl and mix until well blended.
  • Remove the crust from the oven and pour the filling over the crust.
  • In a small bowl, heat 1/2 of the 1/4 cup of jam until soft.
  • Carefully spoon the jam over and into the filing without disturbing the crust.
  • Put the pan back in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes longer until filling is set.
  • Cool for 30 minutes.
  • Stir remaining jam until smooth, then spread it evenly over the cooled bars.
  • Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Store leftovers (like you'll have those!) in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful raspberries. This will ensure that your jam bars have the best possible flavor.
  • Don't overcook the jam. Otherwise, it will become thick and tough. Cook it until it has just reached a thick, spreadable consistency.
  • Let the jam cool completely before spreading it on the bars. This will help to prevent the jam from seeping through the crust.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the bars. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Raspberry jam bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their sweet and tart filling and buttery crust, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give these raspberry jam bars a try!
