Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 egg large, at room temperature
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup butter 8 ounces, melted until browned and brought back to solid state
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup cherry preserves

Vanilla Glaze:

  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk use what you have
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°(F). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, extending paper over edges. Lightly grease parchment; set aside.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, combine all crumb mixture ingredients (the first 6 ingredients). Beat at low speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl often, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve 2 cups crumb mixture; set aside.
  3. Press the remaining crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Spread preserves on top, leaving a 1/2 inch clean border around the edges. Crumble reserved crumb topping over preserves.
  4. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely; cut into bars.

For the glaze:

  1. In a small bowl whisk together the confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla; beat until completely smooth, adding more liquid if a thinner consistency is needed, and more sugar if a thicker consistency is needed. Drizzle over cooled, cut bars.

Notes

  • *If you choose to skip the brown butter step, simply use 2 sticks (8 ounces) of cold butter cut into cubes.
