In our easy version of this classic jam-filled dessert, we've replaced the tricky lattice crust with a simple crumble topping. It's every bit as delicious and still allows jam to peek through, but there's no need to roll out your dough and painstakingly weave the strips into a lattice. Just sprinkle and bake!

Ingredients
Method
In bowl, whisk together flour, almonds, cinnamon and salt. In large bowl, beat butter with sugar until fluffy; beat in egg and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture, using hands to knead together when dough becomes stiff.
Press all but 1 cup of the dough into bottom of parchment paper–lined 13- x 9-inch (3.5 L) cake pan. Spread jam evenly over base. Crumble remaining dough over top.
Bake in 350°F oven until top is golden, about 45 minutes. Let cool completely in pan. Lift out onto cutting board; cut into bars. (Make-ahead: Layer between waxed paper in airtight container; store for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.)
Makes about 48 bars.
