Tips & tricks
The great thing about this recipe is that is very versatile. You can layer the fruit bar with any variety of jam that you like! For other great flavours, try cherry or blueberry! Keep these tips in mind when making this super easy dessert!
- Stir the jam with a whisk before spreading it onto the crust.
- The dough should be crumbly but when squeezed it will stick together.
- Leave space around the sides of the crust when spreading the jam because it spreads during baking.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam
- 3/2 cup sliced almonds
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8 inch square baking dish.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, salt and baking powder.
In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugars on high speed until light and fluffy; beat in egg yolk.
Reduce speed to low, and gradually add the flour. Stir in almonds.
In a small bowl, loosen the jam using a whisk.
Gently press half of the dough into the bottom of the baking dish. Spread the jam over the dough. Leave a 1/4 inch around the sides as the jam spreads when cooking. Sprinkle the remaining dough over top to create a topping; press gently.
Bake until the top is golden, approximately 25 minutes. Cool. Cut into bars and serve!
