Strawberry Crumble Bars Recipes

STRAWBERRY CRUMBLE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Stir 1/2 cup white sugar and cornstarch together in a medium bowl. Mix in 1 cup sliced strawberries at a time.
• Combine flour, remaining 1/2 cup white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in melted butter and egg with a fork until crumbly.
• Press 1/2 of the crumble mixture into the prepared pan. Cover with strawberry mixture, then top with remaining crumble mixture.
• Bake in the oven until golden brown, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes. Place in the refrigerator before slicing into 16 bars.

STRAWBERRY JAM CRUMBLE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine flour, powdered sugar, nuts, and salt for base in a large bowl. Add butter and cut in with a pastry blender until mixture resembles cornmeal.
• Transfer mixture to a 12x18-inch baking sheet and flatten with the palm of your hand into an even layer. You do not need to butter the pan; the dough has enough butter in it so it will not stick.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Leave oven on.
• Meanwhile, combine 1 cup flour and sugar for topping in a bowl. Add butter and cut in with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; you do not want big clumps of butter.
• Spread jam over the cooled base layer, then sprinkle on the topping mixture. Return to the oven and bake until topping is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Let cool for 15 minutes before cutting into 24 bars.
