Tips:

  • For the best results, use a sharp knife to cut the butter into the flour mixture. This will help to create a light and flaky crust.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • When baking the crust, prick the bottom with a fork to prevent it from bubbling up.
  • Let the mincemeat filling cool completely before spreading it on the crust. This will help to prevent the filling from making the crust soggy.
  • Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the filling. This will help to create a golden brown and crispy topping.
  • Bake the bars until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. This will usually take about 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help to prevent the bars from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Mincemeat crumb bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover mincemeat, and they are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
