How to Make Cranberry Crumble Bars
- In a 1 1/2-quart saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup orange juice, and 2 tablespoons water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Stir in 12 ounces fresh cranberries, 1/4 cup orange zest, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cranberries burst and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
- Stir in 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until the mixture is crumbly.
- Press half of the crumbly mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9x2 inch rectangular baking pan.
- Spread the cooled cranberry filling evenly over the crumbly layer.
- Crumble the remaining topping mixture over the filling.
- Press lightly to adhere.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into 48 bars (8 rows x 6 rows).
