Raspberry Crumble Cups
These delightful treats include a shortbread layer covered with raspberry jam and topped with a buttery shortbread crumble. They're as easy as they are delicious!Based on a recipe by Celebrating Sweets.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp. almond extract
- ¼ tsp. kosher salt
- ¾ cup raspberry jam or preserves, or your preferred flavor
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350℉. Add paper liners to a 12-count muffin pan and set aside.
- Next, add everything except for the raspberry preserves in the bowl of a stand mixer. Turn the mixer on low to start incorporating the ingredients, increasing the speed a notch or two as things start to combine. The mixer will blend the ingredients while cutting in the butter till you achieve a crumbly, pea-like consistency. (Alternatively, you can use a bowl and hand mixer for this step.)
- Once your crumbly dough mixture is ready, add about two tablespoons of it to each muffin cup. Then press it down firmly using a small, flat bottomed object (like a shot glass). You'll have about a half cup of shortbread crumble dough left over for topping the cups.
- Top each muffin cup with 2-3 teaspoons of jam or preserves and gently spread to within a ¼-inch of the edges. Keeping the filling away from the edge will help prevent it from bubbling up and over the crumble topping.
- Sprinkle the remaining crumble dough over the jam layer, dividing it evenly among the 12 cups. Place the pan in your preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. The crumble cups are ready when they are golden brown.
- Allow them to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pan and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
- To store, place the crumble cups in a container with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate or keep at room temperature.
