How to Make German Quark Crumb Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- **Prepare the Quark Filling:** In a large bowl, whisk together the quark, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth and well combined.
- **Make the Crumb Topping:** In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, oats, melted butter, and salt. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Grease a 13x9 inch glass baking dish.
- Press 2 ½ cups of the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, patting it firmly and evenly to create a crust. Press the crumbs about ½ inch up the sides of the dish.
- Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and pour the quark filling evenly over the baked crust.
- Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture evenly over the quark layer.
- Pat the top crumb layer very lightly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the topping is golden brown.
- Let the bars cool completely in the baking dish before cutting into squares.
- Store leftover bars in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture.
