I had some raspberry jam that I wanted to use up, and these crumble bars seemed like a much better idea than letting it sit in the fridge. I made a simple oat crumble with butter and brown sugar, then added the jam right in the middle.
The crumble bakes up lightly golden with a soft, buttery texture, while the raspberry jam gives you a sweet and slightly tart center. The oats add a little extra texture, which I really liked with the fruity filling.
