These jam crumble bars are a delightful treat, perfect for any occasion. With a buttery base, a fruity jam layer, and a crumbly topping, they are sure to please.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan.
Using parchment paper can make removing the bars easier after baking.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing.
Add the egg and mix until incorporated.
Mix just until combined to avoid overmixing.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder, then gradually add to the wet mixture until a dough forms.
Add the dry ingredients in portions to prevent clumping.
Press two-thirds of the dough evenly into the prepared pan.
Use the back of a spoon or your hands to spread the dough evenly.
Spread the jam evenly over the dough base.
Warm the jam slightly if it's too thick to spread easily.
Crumble the remaining dough over the jam layer.
Pinch small pieces of dough to create a crumbly texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Check for doneness by observing the edges; they should be lightly browned.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Cooling ensures the bars set properly and are easier to cut.
