How to Make Danish Cinnamon Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, beat 1 large egg until light and frothy.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients (except granulated sugar) and mix until well combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
  4. Press the dough evenly into an ungreased 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
  5. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of granulated sugar evenly over the top of the bars.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Let the bars cool slightly in the pan before cutting.
  8. Cut into bars while still slightly warm for clean cuts.
  9. Let cool completely in the pan before removing and storing.
  10. Remove from pan and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
