Cranberry Crumble Bars

These Cranberry Crumble Bars are an easy dessert to serve for Thanksgiving and Christmas... or anytime.
These cranberry crumble bars are reminiscent of the flavors of Linzer cookies, the jam-filled sandwich cookie made with both wheat and almond flours.
In the case of these bars, some of the dough is pressed into a baking pan, topped with cranberry jam, and then the rest of the dough is crumbled over the top of the jam.
Have you ever been assigned dessert for a family holiday gathering and then found that your pie, trifle, or cake sits there untouched because everyone is too full? Me too. These bars are small enough, and yet festive enough, to tempt your family members to have dessert.
They always disappear.
