Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper. If you don’t drape it over the sides of the pan (recommended), spray the sides with non-stick spray.
  1. In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together.
  2. Add the cold, cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until you get pea-size crumbles.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and vanilla together.
  4. Pour the mixture over the crumble mixture. Gently mix together until ingredients look like crumbly sand.
  5. Set aside 2 cups of the crumbly mixture.
  6. Pour the remaining mixture into your baking pan and flatten it to make an even crust.
  1. Mix the cranberry filling ingredients together. Spread the filling over the packed crust.
  2. Sprinkle the 2 cups of crumble topping over the cranberry filling.
  3. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the top is lightly browned and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  4. Take the pan out of the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. Cut bars into the serving size of your choice. Serve as is or topped with ice cream.
  6. Store leftover cranberry bars in an airtight container for up to 2 days on the counter or for up to a week in the fridge.
