Mouthwatering Mixed Berry Cinnamon Crumble Bars

Ingredients

For the Crust and Topping:

- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Berry Filling:

- 3 cups mixed berries (a combination of fresh or frozen strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

For the Finishing Touch:

- 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
- ¼ cup powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Prepare the Crust and Topping:
- In a large bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended.
- Add the all-purpose flour, kosher salt, baking powder, and ground cinnamon to the wet mixture. Stir until a crumbly dough forms.
- Press about two-thirds of this mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form an even layer for the crust.

3. Make the Berry Filling:
- In another bowl, toss the mixed berries with granulated sugar and flour until evenly coated.
- Spread the berry mixture over the pressed crust in the pan.

4. Add the Topping:
- Crumble the remaining dough over the berry layer, ensuring that some of the berries are peeking through.
- Sprinkle the turbinado sugar evenly over the top for added crunch and sweetness.

5. Bake:
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the berries are bubbling.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan on a wire rack.

6. Serve:
- Once cooled, dust the bars with powdered sugar.
- Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
