For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the oat mixture. If fresh raspberries aren't available, frozen raspberries (thawed and drained) can be used. Store leftover squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a medium bowl, gently combine the fresh raspberries, applesauce, oat bran, and granulated sugar. Set aside, allowing the flavors to meld. (5 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate, larger bowl, whisk together the quick-cooking oats and brown sugar. Add the cold, cubed butter and flour. Using a pastry blender (or your fingertips), cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (10 minutes)
04
StepPress half of the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the base crust. (3 minutes)
05
StepBake the crust in the preheated oven until it's lightly golden brown, approximately 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. (20 minutes)
06
StepCarefully spread the raspberry-applesauce filling evenly over the cooled crust. Sprinkle the remaining crumb topping evenly over the filling. (5 minutes)
07
StepReturn the pan to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. (20 minutes)
08
StepLet the squares cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving. This allows the filling to set properly. (60 minutes)
