Preheat oven

nonstick spray. |

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. |

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. |
