Raspberry Crumble Bars

Ingredients:

• 1/2 lb. (2 sticks) unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2-1/3 cup flour
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 10-12 oz. raspberry jam
• 2/3 cup granola
• 1/4 cup slivered almonds
• Confectionery sugar for top

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350℉.
2. Mix butter and sugar on medium speed on mixer just until combined. With the mixer on low, add vanilla.
3. Sift the flour and salt together. With the mixer on low, slowly add to the butter mixture, mixing until it almost comes together in a ball. Turn the dough out on a board. Lightly pat 2/3 of the dough evenly on the bottom of a 9 inch square pan. Spread with the jam. 
4. Mix the granola with the remaining dough with your hands. Break the dough into small bits and distribute it on top of the jam, covering most of the surface. Sprinkle almonds on top.
5. Bake the bars for 45 minutes, until lightly browned.
6. Cool completely and cut into 9 or 12 bars. Sprinkle lightly with confectioners' sugar.
