How to Make Lemon Crumb Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine 15.25 oz (1 box) yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted margarine, and 1 large egg. Mix with an electric mixer until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1 cup finely crushed saltine crackers.
- Reserve 2 cups of the crumb mixture. Press the remaining crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Firmly press to create an even crust.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 large egg yolks, 14 oz (1 can) sweetened condensed milk, and 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice.
- Pour the lemon mixture evenly over the baked crust.
- Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the lemon filling.
- Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting. This allows the filling to set properly.
- Once cooled, cut into bars and store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
