Cranberry-Apple Butter Bars image

I found this recipe in the Pillsbury Fall Baking Booklet that I found in the checkout aisle of the grocery store. The pictures in this booklet are absolutely amazing! One medium orange will provide enough grated pell and the 1/4 cup of juice called for in this recipe. Homemade or purchased apple butter will work in this recipe.

Time 40m

Yield 32 bars, 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (12 ounce) bag fresh cranberries (or frozen)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon orange peel, grated
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup apple butter
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
3/4 cup butter, softened or 3/4 cup margarine
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Spray 13 x 9-inch pan with cooking spray.
  • In 4-quart saucepan, mix cranberries, granulated sugar, orange peel and orange juice. Heat to boiling over heat 6 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until cranberries pop and lose their round shape and mixture thickens. Stir in apple butter and 2 tablespoons butter; remove from heat.
  • In large bowl, beat 3/4 cup butter and the brown sugar with electric mixer on medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, until fluffy. Stir in flour, salt, baking soda and oats. Press 3 cups oat mixture in pan.
  • Spread cranberry filling over base. Crumble remaining 2 cups oat mixture over filling; press lightly.
  • Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely, about 1 hour 30 minutes. For bars, cut into 8 rows by 4 rows.
