You can make this with any flavor of jam or preserves that you have on hand!
Ingredients
Crumb Mixture
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup butter, softened
Filling Mixture
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 1 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2-3/4 cup strawberry jam or preserves
Glaze
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp almon extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9×9 pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Make the crumb mixture first. Beat together the butter and brown sugar until smooth, and then beat in the flour. The mixture will be a bit crumbly. Press the crumb into the bottom of the pan and flatten out.
- Bake for 15 minutes until slightly browned.
- While it’s in the oven, prepare the filling: Beat together the butter, brown sugar, almond extract, and salt until smooth. Add in the flour and beat until it comes together. It will be slightly more crumbly than the first mixture.
- When the first layer comes out of the oven, immediately spread on the jam/preserves. Then, sprinkle the filling mixture over the top of it, and don’t press down.
- Bake for 20 more minutes.
- Once the bars have cooled, mix together all of the glaze ingredients and drizzle it over the top of the cooled off bars.
