Cinnamon Almond Plum Bars image

Adapted from a Martha Stuart Recipe, these fruit bars are so super delicious! I love giving them away as gifts. While you can use any kind of jam or preserves you like, I think plum yields a unique sweet/tartness to the bars. Peach, apercot and strawberry all taste great with teh cinnamon. You can also double the recipe, place it...

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 c unsalted butter (1 stick)
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 c brown sugar, light
1/4 c granulated sugar
1 large egg yolk
3/4 c sliced almonds
1/2 c plum preserves

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  • 2. Spray an 8-inch bakeing dish with canola spray.
  • 3. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder.
  • 4. In a mixing bowl fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars on high speed until light and fluffy; beat in egg yolk. Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in flour mixture. Stir in almonds.
  • 5. In a small bowl, whisk preserves to loosen. Stirring the preserves with a fork or a whisk will enable it to spread smoothly over the dough. You can microwave the preserves for a few seconds if it's very sticky.
  • 6. Gently press half of dough into bottom of prepared dish. With the back of a spoon, gently spread jam over dough, leaving a 1/4-inch border so the jam doesn't stick to the sides of the pan. Sprinkle remaining dough over top all the way to the edges; press gently to form top layer.
  • 7. Bake until top is golden, 25 to 30 minutes; cool completely in dish. Cut into bars with a serrated knife.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of plums, but I really enjoyed these bars. The cinnamon and almonds helped to balance out the tartness of the plums, and the crust was nice and flaky.

These bars are the perfect fall treat! The plums are sweet and tart, the almonds add a nice crunch, and the cinnamon gives them a warm and cozy flavor. I love that they're also relatively healthy, so I can indulge without feeling guilty.
