Raspberry Lemon Crumble Bars Food

LEMON RASPBERRY CRUMB BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Grease a 9×13 inch pan, set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, flour salt and baking powder. Using your hands, fork or pastry cutter, cut in the butter until it resembles a coarse meal. (I like to use my hands.) Mix in the lemon zest and egg until fully combined. Press half of dough into the prepared baking pan and bake for 7 minutes.
• While the crust is baking, stir together the raspberries, lemon juice, sugar and cornstarch. Once crust is done, spread raspberry mixture over the warm crust and crumble the remaining dough over the raspberries. No need to make this absolutely perfect, it's looks nice when some raspberry color shows through. Place back into oven and bake for another 35-45 minutes or until top starts to turn slightly golden. Once done, allow them to cool completely before cutting.
• Bars will stay fresh for up to 5 days stored in an airtight container at room temperature or up to 7 days stored in the fridge.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on medium speed just until combined. With the mixer on low, add the vanilla.
• Sift the flour and salt together and, with the mixer on low, slowly add to the butter mixture, mixing until it almost comes together in a ball. Turn the dough out on a board. Lightly pat two-thirds of the dough evenly on the bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan and about 1/4-inch up the sides. Spread with the jam, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Mix the granola into the remaining dough with your hands. Break the dough into small bits and distribute it on top of the jam, covering most of the surface. Sprinkle the almonds on top. Bake the bars for 45 minutes, until lightly browned.
• Cool completely and cut into 9 or 12 bars. Sprinkle lightly with confectioners' sugar.

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
• Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, sugar, lemon zest, and baking powder in a bowl. Add melted butter and mix until well combined using your hands. Place 1/2 of mixture into the prepared baking dish and pat down to form a crust.
• Mix sugar and flour in a bowl. Rub in lemon zest with your fingers. Add raspberries and lemon juice. Stir until raspberries are coated. Pour over crust and sprinkle raspberries with the remaining crumble mixture.
• Bake until raspberry mixture is set, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack completely before cutting into 9 squares.

LEMON RASPBERRY CRUMB BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9-inch square pan with enough parchment paper to have overhang on all sides.
• Mix together 1 1/2 cups flour, powdered sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until combined. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Measure out 1/2 cup of the crumb mixture and set aside to use for the topping. Press remaining crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Bake crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
• While crust bakes, prepare filling: Mix together white sugar, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons flour, baking powder, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until well combined.
• Remove crust from oven and scatter raspberries evenly over top. Pour filling evenly over the raspberries, then sprinkle reserved 1/2 cup crumb mixture randomly over top.
• Place pan back into the oven and bake until bars are set, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow bars to cool completely in the pan, 30 to 45 minutes. Use the parchment overhang to remove from the pan and cut into 9 bars.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan.
• Stir melted butter, white sugar, and light brown sugar together. Stir in flour to form a crumbly mixture. Set 3/4 cup of the mixture aside for the topping. Add raspberry baking chips and salt to the remaining mixture.
• Pour raspberry crumb mixture into the prepared pan, distributing it evenly. Use the back of a spoon to press the crumb mixture down into the pan to form a level crust. Spread lemon curd over the crust and top with the reserved crumbs.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then refrigerate until bars are set, about 1 hour.
• While the bars are cooling, make the raspberry sauce. Place raspberry preserves in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high until easily stirred with a spoon, about 40 seconds. Stir in raspberry liqueur and refrigerate until cool.
• Cut bars into 9 pieces and drizzle with raspberry sauce.
