How to cook deliciously - Cranberry Crumb Bars

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 375°. Grease an 8" square baking dish with cooking spray. Line with parchment, leaving about a 2-inch overhang on two sides. Grease parchment.

In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add flour and salt and beat until combined. Press 3 cups of the crust mixture into the bottom of prepared pan. Mix almonds into remaining crust and set aside.

Bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbling, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
