Instructions
Make the Graham Cracker Crust
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray an 9" square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray, and line with a parchment paper sling. Set aside.
- Mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and salt in a bowl until combined. Pour in the melted butter, mixing until the consistency is of wet sand.
- Pour the ingredients into the prepared baking dish, pressing the crumbs onto the bottom into a crust layer.
- Place in the oven, and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool.
Prepare the Cranberry Filling
- While the crust is baking, prepare the cranberry filling.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, measure in the cranberries, sugar, orange juice and orange zest.
- Bring the ingredients to a boil, then let them simmer until the cranberries have popped and released their juice. The sauce will thicken and become gooey. This will take about 10 minutes, depending on the strength of your stovetop.
- When the sauce has thickened, remove from the heat, and set aside.
Make the Crumble Topping
- Whisk together the flour, oats, sugar and salt in a bowl until combined.
- Pour in the melted butter, mixing with your hand, a spoon or a fork gently to create a crumbly topping.
Prepare the Crumble Bars
- Pour the prepared cranberry filling on top of the baked graham cracker crust. Do this gently so it does not dislodge the crust.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping on top of the cranberry filling in an even layer.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crumble topping turns golden brown and the cranberry mixture becomes bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, and let cool completely before cutting into squares and enjoying!
Notes
- This recipe can easily be made gluten free by swapping the regular Graham crackers for a gluten free variety and the regular AP flour with a gluten free blend.
