Leftover Cranberry Sauce Bars
These Leftover Cranberry Sauce Crumble Bars are a sweet and tangy treat that you can make the day after Thanksgiving. They are a great way to use Thanksgiving leftovers, but are so good that I would make a new batch of cranberry sauce just so I can make them again!
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- orange zest
- 1 cup butter cut into chunks, 8 ounces, cold, unsalted
- 1 egg large
- 2 ½ cranberry sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×13 inch pan.
- In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup sugar, 3 cups flour, baking powder, salt, and orange zest. Use a fork or pastry cutter to blend in the butter and egg. You can also use a food processor. Pulse ingredients together until just combined. Dough will be crumbly. Pat half of dough into the prepared pan.
- Spread the cranberry sauce over the first layer. Crumble the rest of the dough on top.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until top is slightly brown. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
- If you don't have enough cranberry sauce, making a new batch is easy! Try my recipe HERE.
