Cape Cod Cranberry Bars

 

 

 

 

 

CRUST:

 

2 cups 

 

all-purpose flour

 

1 cup 

 

powdered sugar

 

¼ cup 

 

packed brown sugar

 

¼ tsp 

 

salt

 

1 tsp 

 

vanilla extract

 

12 Tbs 

 

unsalted butter, softened

 

1 cup 

 

pecans, toasted and chopped
 

 

 

 

FILLING:

 

2 cups 

 

cranberries- fresh or frozen (do not thaw, if frozen)

 

1½ cups 

 

peeled, cored and chopped apples

 

1 cup 

 

fresh raspberries

 

½ cup 

 

granulated sugar

 

2 Tbs 

 

all-purpose flour

 

2 Tbs 

 

unsalted butter, melted

 

 

1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.

2

Prepare crust: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugars and salt. Add the vanilla and butter- use a pastry blender to mix the butter into the flour until the mixture is very crumbly. Stir in the nuts. Measure out 1½ cups of the crumb mixture and set aside. Scoop the remaining crumbs into the bottom of the prepared pan. Pat the crumbs down to form an even layer. Bake for 15 minutes.

3

Prepare filling: While the crust is baking, add the cranberries, apples, raspberries and sugar into a food processor. Pulse a few times to chop the cranberries. Add the flour and melted butter- pulse a few more times to combine the mixture.

4

Scoop the mixture over the baked crust and use an off-set spatula to spread it evenly. Crumble the reserved crumb mixture over the filling- bake until the filling is bubbly and the crumbles begin to turn a golden brown, about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove and let cool completely before cutting into bars.
