Ingredients
Crust:
-
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
-
3 tablespoons white sugar
-
1 teaspoon almond extract
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
Cranberry Layer:
-
6 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries
-
1/4 cup white sugar
-
2 tablespoons water
-
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon zest
Lemon Layer:
-
2 large eggs
-
3/4 cup white sugar
-
1/3 cup freshly-squeezed lemon juice
-
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
-
1 tablespoon lemon zest
-
confectioners sugar, as needed
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch pan or line with parchment paper on the bottom, leaving a little overhang to easily remove bars.
-
Stir melted butter, 3 tablespoons sugar, almond extract, and salt together in a bowl. Add flour, and mix until well incorporated. Press dough mixture into the prepared pan in an even layer.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until edges start to turn a light brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, and set aside.
-
Meanwhile, combine cranberries, 1/4 cup sugar, water, and 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon zest in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often. Once cranberries start to pop, mash down with the back of a spoon, until cranberries break down into a smooth consistency, 9 to 12 minutes. Set aside.
-
Whisk eggs, 3/4 cup sugar, lemon juice, flour, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest in a bowl until well combined.
-
To assemble, spread the cranberry mixture evenly over the crust, and pour the lemon layer mixture over the cranberry layer.
-
Return to the oven and bake until filling is set, 20 to 25 minutes.
-
Cool completely in the pan, and run a knife around the pan edges. Cut into squares and dust with confectioners sugar right before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
