I made a good dessert bar tonight using ingredients I happened to have on hand. It all started when I found some frozen cookie dough leftover from Christmas. There were fresh blueberries but not enough to do much with so I added some apple. The homemade cookie dough made a great crust for a dessert bar. Unfortunately I kept sampling them. Here is the recipe:
2 Cups sugar cookie dough
1 cup fresh blueberries
1apple peeled cored and sliced
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
2 Tb flour
2 Tb butter
1/2 cup sliced almonds
Line a 13 x 9 inch pan with foil. Pat one cup of cookie dough in the bottom of the pan. Mix blueberries, apples, sugar, cinnamon, ginger. Spread bluberry mixture over cookie dough. Sprinkle flour over fruit mixture. Dot with butter. Break up remaining dough and scatter it over the fruit. Bake at 350° until golden, about 20 minutes. At about tne minutes sprinkle the almonds over the bars.
