Fresh Milled Wheat Fruit Bars

An easy shortbread fruit bar recipe to use your excess pie filling or jam.
Servings: 24 Bars
Author: robpodge

Ingredients

  • 320 Grams wheat berries (soft white, hard white, hard red, kamut, spelt, einkorn, etc.)
  • 3/4 Cup cane sugar
  • 1/2 Tsp salt
  • 1 Cup butter
  • 16 Oz pie filling (or jam)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350*F. Prepare 9x13 glass baking dish with unbleached parchment paper 
  • Mill the grains. Add flour, sugar and salt to a bowl (stand mixer with paddle attachment) to combine. 
  • Add softened butter. Mix until crumbles form. 
  • Set aside 1 cup of crumbles. 
  • Press the remainder of the shortbread into the prepared 9x13 dish. 
  • Bake for 15 mins. 
  • Add pie filling and spread evenly. Sprinkle your 1 cup of crumbles onto the pie filling.
  • Continue baking for 30-40 mins. It could take longer depending on the grain as some whole grains are denser and seem to need more baking time! 
  • Allow the bars to COOL COMPLETELY before cutting and eating. I know. It’s hard. But pop it in the fridge if you need to.
