- ¾ cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
- ½ cup light brown sugar

Instructions
To Make the Crust and Crumb Topping
- Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, and preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Place the ingredients for crust into a food processor, and pulse until a soft dough forms. (If you don't have a food processor, use a mixing bowl and your hands or a pastry cutter to mix the ingredients.)2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsalted butter, ½ cup light brown sugar, ½ teaspoon salt
- Divide the dough into thirds (it's ok to eyeball it). Place ⅓ of the mixture in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
- Press the remaining ⅔ of the dough into the prepared pan. Form it into an even layer and bake for 20-30 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let the crust cool before adding the filling.
Add the Filling
- Spoon the jam onto the cooled crust and carefully spread it in an even layer.18 ounces blackberry jam
Add the Crumble Topping and Bake
- Remove the remaining ⅓ of the shortbread dough from the refrigerator, and use your hands to break it into small pieces. Sprinkle the dough pieces over the jam.
- Increase the oven temperature to 350°F, and bake for another 30-40 minutes.The jam will bubbles around the edges and the crumb topping will turn light brown and get crispy on top.
- Let the blackberry crumble bars cool at room temperature for 30 minutes before transferring to the refrigerator to cool completely and set.
