A filling made with dried cranberries is layered between a buttery crust and a golden crumb topping in these flavorful bars. They're recommended by Barbara Nowakowski from Mesa, Arizona. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
2 cups quick-cooking oats |
1-1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour, divided |
2 cups dried cranberries |
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Combine oats and 1-1/2 cups flour; add to the creamed mixture until blended. Set aside 1-1/2 cups for topping.
2. Press remaining crumb mixture into an ungreased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.
3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the cranberries, sour cream, sugar, egg, lemon peel, vanilla and remaining flour. Spread evenly over crust. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture.
4. Bake 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: about 3 dozen.
