APPLE-RASPBERRY CRUMB BARS



Apple-Raspberry Crumb Bars image

Craving both cookies and pie? A classic crumb bar is just what you need! It's got a tender, sweet, cookie base; real fruit filling; and toothsome, oaty crumbs on top. It's more portable than pie and more satisfying than a cookie. What to do when your favorite fruit is out of season? Make your way to your supermarket's frozen fruit aisle. Since frozen fruit has been picked at peak ripeness, it's reliably sweet and delicious and often a better value than fresh.

Time 2h45m

Yield 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 small apples, peeled, cored and chopped (about 2 1/2 cups)
2 cups frozen raspberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pan
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup packed light-brown or dark-brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch square baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In a medium bowl, beat the butter and the brown sugar with an electric mixture on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg. Spread about two-thirds of the batter evenly over the bottom of the prepared pan with an offset spatula. Bake the bottom crust until it is golden brown, 24 to 26 minutes. Mix the remaining batter with the oats and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the apples, raspberries and sugar and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is bubbling and the fruit has broken down, 5 to 6 minutes. In a small bowl, mix about 3 tablespoons of the fruit mixture with the cornstarch until smooth. Add the cornstarch mixture to the fruit and simmer for another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the jam from the heat and let cool slightly.
  • Top the bottom crust with the fruit and spread it out evenly. Top the fruit with the oat crumb mixture, squeezing it to make some larger clumps. Bake until the top is golden brown, 28 to 32 minutes. Transfer the pan to a rack to cool completely. Using the parchment, lift out the entire bar mixture and place it on a cutting board. Cut into squares.

APPLE-RASPBERRY PANDOWDY



Apple-Raspberry Pandowdy image

Entry-level bakers, this one's for you. Essentially a batter-topped cobbler, it's assembled in one pan: Toss tart apples with lime juice and cinnamon, then cover them with a drop-biscuit batter and a sprinkle of fresh raspberries. Finish with a fine veneer of sugar drizzled with hot water, so it melts into a delicate shell; then pop it in the oven until the top is crisp and golden brown, and present it with pride-a foolproof, down-home finale for your feast.

Categories     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 pounds tart apples, such as Granny Smith, cored, peeled, and cut into 1-inch-thick wedges
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest, plus 3 tablespoons fresh juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 1/3 cups sugar, divided
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla paste or extract
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup rye flour
2/3 cup whole milk
1 1/2 cups raspberries (about 6 ounces)
1/3 cup hot water
Vanilla ice cream or heavy cream (optional), for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. In a 2 1/2-quart baking dish or cake pan, toss apples with lime zest and juice and cinnamon; spread in an even layer. Transfer dish to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet (to catch any juices that bubble over).
  • Beat butter with 1 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and vanilla on medium speed to combine, about 1 minute (mixture will be grainy). Add both flours and beat until no dry flour remains and mixture is crumbly. With motor running, slowly add milk, beating until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Spoon batter over apples, then spread to edges in an even layer. Scatter raspberries over batter. Sprinkle remaining 1/3 cup sugar evenly over top. Drizzle hot water over sugar (most will melt).
  • Bake until top is crisp and golden brown and cake is set, 55 to 65 minutes. Let cool slightly, about 15 minutes. Serve warm, topped with ice cream or a drizzle of heavy cream.

Tips:

  • If you don't have fresh raspberries, you can use frozen raspberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Be sure to drain the raspberries well before adding them to the filling, or the bars will be too wet.
  • For a chewier bar, use a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour.
  • If you want a crispier bar, use all-purpose flour.
  • Don't overmix the dough, or the bars will be tough.
  • Be sure to chill the dough before baking, or the bars will spread too much.
