For a richer flavor, try using brown sugar instead of white sugar. Experiment with different types of preserves – apricot, strawberry, or even fig would be delicious! Add chopped nuts, like pecans or walnuts, to the crumb topping for extra crunch and flavor. If you don't have shortening, butter can be used as a substitute, but be sure it is cold and cut into small pieces.

01 Step
Recipe View Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined. (2 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Cut in the shortening using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Ensure the shortening is evenly distributed for a tender crust. (5 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Stir in the egg until just combined. The dough will be crumbly but should hold together when pressed. (1 minute)
05 Step
Recipe View Press approximately half of the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, creating a firm base. (3 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Spread the raspberry preserves (or your chosen flavor) evenly over the pressed crust layer. (2 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture evenly over the jam layer. Gently pat it down to help it adhere. (2 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown and the edges are set. Be careful not to overbake, as this can result in a dry crust. (40 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. This allows the bars to set properly. (60 minutes)
10 Step
Recipe View Once cooled, cut into squares and serve. Store in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness. Enjoy! (5 minutes)

Jun 15, 2025I found that chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking helped to prevent the crust from becoming too crumbly.
