Ingredients of Grape Crumble Bars
For the Crust and Crumble
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Grape Filling
- 2 cups seedless grapes, washed and halved
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9×9-inch (23×23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt for the crust and crumble. Mix well.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg and vanilla extract together. Pour this mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until a crumbly dough forms.
- Take about 2/3 of the crumb mixture and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Ensure it’s evenly distributed and forms a solid crust.
- In another bowl, prepare the grape filling. Combine the halved grapes, 1/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix until the grapes are well-coated with the sugar and cornstarch.
- Pour the grape mixture over the crust in the baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the top of the grape filling. You can crumble it with your fingers to create a nice, textured topping.
- Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, and the grape filling is bubbling.
- Remove the grape crumble bars from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 20-30 minutes.
- Once they have cooled a bit, you can use the parchment paper to lift the bars out of the pan and onto a cutting board. Cut them into squares or bars of your desired size.
- Serve the grape crumble bars as a delightful treat. They are excellent as a dessert or a sweet snack.
