Cranberry Squares

I found a bag of two week old cranberries at the back of my refrigerator. They just screamed bake me in something. So I totally listened to those little red guys and made these easy and delicious cranberry squares.

What you need:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups cranberries
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Crumb Topping

• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons flour

What you do:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, sugar and salt.

Stir the cranberries into the flour mixture, toss to coat.

Add the butter, eggs, almond and vanilla extract to the cranberries and mix until combined.

Spread the batter into a greased 8 inch square pan (a pie plate also works great).

Combine all crumb topping ingredients, cutting together with a fork until well combined. Sprinkle over the cranberry batter.

Bake for about 45- 50 minutes.

I'm in love with the almond and cranberry combo!
