Raspberry Pistachio Crumble Bars

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1/2 cup chopped pistachios

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and brown sugar for the crumble topping.
3. Add the cold butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry blender or your fingers to work it into a crumbly mixture.
4. Stir in the chopped pistachios.
5. Set aside the crumble mixture and make the raspberry filling. In a separate bowl, whisk together the raspberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until well combined.
6. Pour the raspberry mixture into the prepared baking dish.
7. Top with the crumble mixture, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.
8. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.

Notes

• These bars are perfect for a quick dessert or snack, and they're even better the next day!
• You can adjust the amount of raspberries to your liking, but keep in mind that too many will make the filling quite tart.
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
