Ingredients

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces

- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold butter and use a pastry blender or your fingers to work it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crumb mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, toss the fresh raspberries with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
- Arrange the raspberry mixture on top of the crumb crust in an even layer.
- Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the raspberry layer.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the crumble topping is golden brown and the fruit is tender.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely before slicing into bars.
Tips
- Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overmix the crumb mixture, as this can make it tough.
- Let the bars cool completely to ensure they hold their shape.
