Sour Cream Cranberry Bars image

This recipe, in its original form, came from the 2009 cookbook, Taste of Home Best Church Supper Recipes. I've tweaked it a bit to my own satisfaction.

Time 47m

Yield 36 bars, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
2 cups quick-cooking oats
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups dried cranberries
1 cup sour cream
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon zest, minced
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (yes, again)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F & set out a 13"x9" glass baking dish.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter & brown sugar.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the oats & the 1 1/2 cups of flour, then add this flour mixture to the butter mixture, blending well.
  • Set aside 1 1/2 cups of this crumb mixture. Press the remaining amount of the crumb mixture into the ungreased baking dish, then bake it for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the cranberries, sour cream, sugar, egg, lemon zest, vanilla & the 2 tablespoons of flour, mixing well.
  • When the crust has finished baking, spread the cranberry mixture over the crust & sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the top.
  • Bake for another 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly browned, then cool on a wire rack before cutting into bars. Refrigerate completely cooled bars.

These bars were a little too tart for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the perfect balance of sweet and tart.

I was disappointed with these bars. The cranberries were too tart and the bars were too dry. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.
