Three kinds of fruit sit inside the filling of these bars: fresh cranberries, apple and raspberries. This makes for the perfect sweet-tart filling, with a buttery, crumbly crust and topping.
How to make Cran Apple Raspberry Bars:
This simple recipe begins with the buttery shortbread crust, topped with the sugared, triple-fruit filling and finished off with more of that buttery shortbread crumb mixture.
The result is this gorgeous pan of treats. I love seeing the pretty red berries peek through the crumb topping. And I’m thinking these bars are an awfully festive treat for the fall and winter holidays, don’t you agree?
I was a little worried that these might be a soggy sort of bar because of all of the fruit involved in the filling. Who wants to eat a soggy bar?! They’re not a soggy bar at all. After cooling, these are very easy to cut. And they’re a substantial enough bar to pick up and eat…. a good hand-held treat.
They’re sturdy enough for stacking too. These bars are so good that I have to hide them from my family. They beg me to tell them where my secret hiding place is, and I will never tell them. I believe it’s best to bring them out a little at a time… over several days… so we don’t chow down on them all at once (a perfectly dangerous thing to do- they’re good!)
