With tangy raspberries, a buttery shortbread crust, and a crumb topping, these Raspberry Crumble Bars are a delicious mix of sweet and tangy. They start with a buttery crust that’s both hearty and delicate. Then comes a bright and fresh layer of raspberry jam, amped up with juicy chunks of fresh raspberries. The secret zing of a splash of lemon juice just seals the deal, making this fruity center pop with flavor. Raspberry Crumble Bars are then topped with a crumble that’s got a bit of crunch, thanks to quick-cooking oats, and serves as the perfect contrast to the gooey raspberry middle.
