Raspberry Crumble Bars

We love fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables. It seems like we are either stopping at the grocery or produce stand every few days during the summertime. The fresh raspberries are quite flavorful right now, so here is a recipe you may want to try.

Raspberry Crumble
1  1/4 cups crushed pecan shortbread cookies (Keebler "Sandies" or Aldi has their own brand, which is what I used)
1  3/4 cups flour
1 tsp. sea salt
1/2  cup white sugar
1 cup melted butter
2 cups fresh raspberries, rinsed and allowed to dry

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9 by 9 inch pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl, mix crushed cookies, flour, salt, sugar and butter. Stir until all ingredients are completely moistened. Press 2/3 of dough into the pan. Scatter raspberries over the top and crumble the remaining dough over berries. Bake until the top is golden brown--35-45 minutes.
Enjoy!


This is the Aldi brand. I crushed one row of these and had slightly more crumbs than needed.



If you pick up some raspberries, you may want to try this quick dessert.
Have a "berry" blessed weekend!
