Fruit Crumb Bars Recipes

FRUITY CRUMBLE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, leaving 2 inches of excess paper on both ends.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and 1/2 cup of the rolled oats. Using a fork, cut the butter into the dry ingredients. Toss and crumble the mixture in between your fingers until bean-size crumbs are formed.
• In a small mixing bowl, whisk the vanilla, eggs and 1 tablespoon of the cane syrup. Slowly drizzle the egg mixture into the crumble mixture, using the fork to stir continuously. Check that the crumble holds its shape by squeezing some together in the palm of your hands. Spread three-quarters of the crumble mixture (about 7 cups) onto the lined baking sheet. Press the crumble down to make an even crust. Bake until light golden and set on the surface, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the almonds and remaining 1/2 cup rolled oats to the reserved crumble mixture. Set aside to use as the topping.
• Remove the crumble crust from the oven and cool for 1 minute. Using a small offset spatula, gently spread the cherry jelly over the crust. Sprinkle the dried apricots evenly over the jelly.
• In a medium mixing bowl, toss the peaches with the cornstarch and remaining 1 tablespoon cane syrup. Spoon the peaches in an even layer over the apricots and jelly. Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture over the fruit.
• Bake until golden brown and fragrant, about 40 minutes. Cool completely before lifting the crumble out of the pan using the excess parchment as handles. Slice into 36 bars (2 inches by 1 inch). Store in an airtight container.

HOMEMADE PEACH CRUMB BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat an 8x8-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Next, cut in the cold butter using 2 forks or a pastry cutter then slowly mix in the egg yolk and cold water. Don't worry if the dough seems really crumbly; it should be!
• Press 1/2 of the crumble mixture into the prepared pan to make the crust. Save the rest for the top of the bars.
• Stir together peach slices, sugar, flour, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until combined. Evenly add peach filling to the top of the crust.
• Sprinkle the remaining crumble over the peach filling.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and set, 30 to 38 minutes. Cool bars to room temperature, then cut and serve.

BERRY CRUMBLE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch square baking pan with baking spray and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides of the pan (for easy removal after baking).
• For the fruit: In a medium bowl, toss together the berries, sugar, lemon zest and juice, vanilla and salt. Set aside.
• For the crumble: In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar and salt. Add the butter and use your hands to work the butter into the oat mixture until crumbly and combined.
• Press a little more than half of the crumble into your prepared pan. Pour the sugared berries over the pressed crust and top with the remaining crumble.
• Bake the bars for 25 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking until the center is bubbly and the topping is golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely, lift out of the pan and slice into 16 bars.

• Combine the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, the cornstarch and berries. Place mixture over dough in pan. Crumble the remaining dough over the tops of the berries.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is slightly browned, about 45 minutes.

BLACKBERRY CRUMB BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan. Line bottom with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides; butter and flour paper, tapping out excess.
• Make topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; add 1 cup flour, and mix with a fork until large moist crumbs form. Refrigerate topping until ready to use.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together remaining 3/4 cup flour, baking powder, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; set aside. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat room-temperature butter, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy; add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Reduce speed to low; mix in flour mixture. Spread batter evenly in pan; sprinkle with blackberries, then chilled topping.
• Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool completely in pan. Using paper overhang, lift cake onto a work surface; cut into 16 squares.
