Tips:
- For a gooey center: Use a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar in the filling. The brown sugar will help to create a chewy, gooey texture.
- For a crispy crust: Brush the edges of the pastry with an egg wash before baking. This will help to create a golden brown, crispy crust.
- To prevent the filling from bubbling over: Cut slits in the top of the pastry before baking. This will allow the steam to escape and prevent the filling from bubbling over.
- For a richer flavor: Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract to the filling.
- To make ahead: Prepare the cinnamon bars up to the point of baking. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, preheat the oven and bake the cinnamon bars according to the recipe instructions.
Conclusion:
Cinnamon bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a flaky pastry crust, a sweet and gooey cinnamon filling, and a crispy sugar topping, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give cinnamon bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
