These raspberry crumble bars combine juicy berries, a crunchy crumble topping and a subtle hint of cinnamon. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or a light vanilla glaze for a delightful treat.
Fruit crisps and crumbles rank among my favorite desserts, and these raspberry crumble bars may have just claimed the top spot. The recipe and helpful tips for making these easy bars are available on Oh Sweet Basil. These bars feature a buttery, shortbread-like base, a juicy raspberry filling and a generous crumble topping. The base and topping use the same dough, which keeps prep simple and minimizes cleanup.
For the filling I combine fresh raspberries with raspberry preserves. Using only fresh berries can release too much juice and soften the shortbread base, so the mix of berries and preserves keeps the filling flavorful and juicy while preserving the crunchy texture of the base.
These bars are versatile—perfect for a cozy breakfast, a picnic treat, or an easy dessert after dinner. They pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a simple dusting of powdered sugar.
