Blackberry Crumb Bars Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan. Line bottom with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides; butter and flour paper, tapping out excess.
• Make topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; add 1 cup flour, and mix with a fork until large moist crumbs form. Refrigerate topping until ready to use.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together remaining 3/4 cup flour, baking powder, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; set aside. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat room-temperature butter, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy; add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Reduce speed to low; mix in flour mixture. Spread batter evenly in pan; sprinkle with blackberries, then chilled topping.
• Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool completely in pan. Using paper overhang, lift cake onto a work surface; cut into 16 squares.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Mix flour, almond meal, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt for dough together in a bowl. Cut in butter until it is pea-sized. Mix in egg and vanilla extract until dough is crumbly.
• Pat 1/2 of the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan, saving the remaining dough for the topping.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges just start to turn brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Leave the oven on.
• Beat mascarpone cheese, sugar, 1/2 of the lemon zest, and 1/2 of the lemon juice together in a bowl for mascarpone filling.
• Combine blackberries, sugar, remaining lemon zest, remaining lemon juice, cornstarch, orange liqueur, and salt for blackberry filling in another bowl.
• Spread mascarpone filling across the cooled bottom crust. Spread blackberry filling over mascarpone filling, then sprinkle reserved dough in crumbles evenly over top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until filling is bubbling and top crust is lightly browned, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. For best results, refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight before cutting into 16 bars.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar with spoon until well blended. Add flour, oats, baking powder and salt; stir until mixture is crumbly. Press half of mixture in bottom of pan.
• In small bowl, stir together condensed milk, lemon peel and lemon juice. Pour over crust in pan. Scatter blackberries over lemon mixture. Sprinkle remaining crumb mixture over top.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 30 minutes. Refrigerate until completely cooled, about 45 minutes. For bars, cut into 6 rows by 3 rows. Store in refrigerator.
