Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 230 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 320 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 300 grams raspberry preserves
- 150 grams fresh raspberries
- 60 grams rolled oats
- 50 grams light brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the flour and salt to the butter mixture, mixing until a crumbly dough forms.
Press two-thirds of the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan to form the base layer. Reserve the remaining dough for the topping.
Spread the raspberry preserves over the base layer evenly using a spatula. Gently scatter the fresh raspberries on top.
In a separate bowl, mix the reserved dough with the rolled oats and light brown sugar to create the crumbly topping.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the raspberry layer, distributing it evenly across the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out and slicing into squares or bars.
Serve and enjoy your Raspberry Rascal with a cup of tea or coffee!
