Ingredients
Scale
Crust and Topping
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg, room temperature
Filling
- 1 jar seedless raspberry jam (9–12 ounces)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to get it ready for baking.
- Mix Crust Ingredients: Using an electric mixer on a low setting, combine the softened butter, flour, sugar, and egg until the mixture becomes crumbly. Set aside 1 1/2 cups of this mixture to use later as the topping.
- Form the Base Layer: Press the remaining crumb mixture evenly into a prepared 13 x 9-inch baking dish to create the crust layer.
- Spread Jam: Evenly spread the entire jar of seedless raspberry jam over the crust, ensuring a consistent layer.
- Add Topping: Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the raspberry jam layer and press lightly to slightly adhere it.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting into squares. Enjoy your delicious raspberry bars!
Notes
- For best results, ensure the butter and egg are at room temperature before mixing.
- You can substitute the seedless raspberry jam with other fruit jams if desired.
- Use a non-stick baking dish or grease the dish lightly to prevent sticking.
- Allow the bars to cool fully to help them set and cut cleanly.
