Cinnamon Almond Plum Bars image

Adapted from a Martha Stuart Recipe, these fruit bars are so super delicious! I love giving them away as gifts. While you can use any kind of jam or preserves you like, I think plum yields a unique sweet/tartness to the bars. Peach, apercot and strawberry all taste great with teh cinnamon. You can also double the recipe, place it...

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 c unsalted butter (1 stick)
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 c brown sugar, light
1/4 c granulated sugar
1 large egg yolk
3/4 c sliced almonds
1/2 c plum preserves

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  • 2. Spray an 8-inch bakeing dish with canola spray.
  • 3. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder.
  • 4. In a mixing bowl fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars on high speed until light and fluffy; beat in egg yolk. Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in flour mixture. Stir in almonds.
  • 5. In a small bowl, whisk preserves to loosen. Stirring the preserves with a fork or a whisk will enable it to spread smoothly over the dough. You can microwave the preserves for a few seconds if it's very sticky.
  • 6. Gently press half of dough into bottom of prepared dish. With the back of a spoon, gently spread jam over dough, leaving a 1/4-inch border so the jam doesn't stick to the sides of the pan. Sprinkle remaining dough over top all the way to the edges; press gently to form top layer.
  • 7. Bake until top is golden, 25 to 30 minutes; cool completely in dish. Cut into bars with a serrated knife.

I halved the sugar in the filling and they were still plenty sweet.
