How To Make Raspberry Crumble Bars
Step 1
Mix the butter, sugar, powdered sugar, vanilla, and flour in a mixer to make the shortbread crust.
Step 2
Reserve ⅓ of the shortbread crust for the topping. Spread the remaining out onto a 9x13 baking sheet and press firmly down. Bake for 20 minutes.
Step 3
After baking, remove from the oven and spread out a jar of raspberry preserves over top and spread out evenly across.
Mix the remaining ⅓ of the shortbread crust with slivered almonds and crumble over the top of the raspberry preserves. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
Step 4
Let cool completely before cutting into squares and enjoying!
Can I Use Different Types of Jams Instead of Raspberry?
Absolutely!
Any type of fruit preserve would work. If you can't find perseveres, I would use jams instead of jellies.
Strawberry, blackberry, and peach perserves would be incredible!
How Do You Freeze and Store These Bars?
Once you have baked raspberry crumble bars, let cool completely. You can either wrap the entire baking sheet pan tightly with plastic wrap multiple times (until air tonight) and store in the freezer for up to 6 months.
You can also cute into squares and store them in the freezer the same way as the whole pan.
To just store leftovers, place in an airtight container, and keep in the fridge for a week.
