Cranberry crumble bars

Serves 20 | Prep 25 mins | Cook 50 mins

I have been making these bars since I first started baking and especially since having children, as they are so easy to make and pack away for snacks and treats. It’s a straightforward dough recipe, with a tart cranberry filling and the same dough crumbled on top. Simple to make and simpler to eat, there is no such thing as eating just one bar!
