Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, flour, sugar, and salt until a crumbly dough forms.
Press about two-thirds of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Crumble the remaining dough over the jam layer.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the edges are set.
Let the bars cool completely before slicing into squares.

Notes

You can substitute raspberry jam with other flavors like strawberry, apricot, or blueberry.
For a crunchier topping, add 1/4 cup chopped nuts to the crumbled dough.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
