How to Make Vicki's Sour Cream Raisin Bars
- In a small saucepan, combine ¾ cup water and 1 cup raisins. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool until warm. Drain well.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups rolled oats, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, and 1 cup packed light brown sugar. Mix until crumbly.
- Press two-thirds of the oat mixture into the bottom of a greased 10x15 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven.
- While the crust bakes, prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 cup sour cream, 2 large egg yolks, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the drained raisins.
- Microwave the filling on high for 6 minutes, stirring every minute to prevent scorching. The mixture should thicken considerably.
- Pour the warm filling evenly over the partially baked crust.
- Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the filling.
- Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is set.
