Jam-Filled Pie Bars
Jam-Filled Pie Bars are a delicious dessert that will satisfy your sweet tooth. These bars are made with a buttery crust and filled with your favorite jam. They are perfect for any occasion and can be served as a dessert or a snack.
To make Jam-Filled Pie Bars, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1 cup jam (any flavor)
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and cold water. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and mix until the dough comes together.
Divide the dough in half and press one half into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread the jam evenly over the dough. Roll out the remaining dough and place it on top of the jam. Use a fork to prick the top of the dough.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
These Jam-Filled Pie Bars are a perfect combination of sweet and buttery. The jam filling adds a burst of flavor that complements the crust perfectly. They are easy to make and can be customized with any flavor of jam you prefer. These bars are perfect for a party or a family gathering.
