Strawberry Jam Crumble Bars

1 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2 . Stage

Combine flour, powdered sugar, nuts, and salt for base in a large bowl. Add butter and cut in with a pastry blender until mixture resembles cornmeal.

3 . Stage

Transfer mixture to a 12x18-inch baking sheet and flatten with the palm of your hand into an even layer. You do not need to butter the pan; the dough has enough butter in it so it will not stick.

4 . Stage

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Leave oven on.

5 . Stage

Meanwhile, combine 1 cup flour and sugar for topping in a bowl. Add butter and cut in with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; you do not want big clumps of butter.

6 . Stage

Spread jam over the cooled base layer, then sprinkle on the topping mixture. Return to the oven and bake until topping is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

7 . Stage

Let cool for 15 minutes before cutting into 24 bars.
