Prepare the Pan:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Butter a 9×13-inch baking pan.

Make the Crust:

  • In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup sugar, flour, almond flour, salt, and baking powder.

  • Pat half of the dough evenly into the prepared pan.

Prepare the Filling:

  • In another bowl, mix together the sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and orange juice.
  • Stir in the cranberries, then spread the cranberry mixture evenly over the crust.

Top with Crumble:

  • Add 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon to the remaining dough, then crumble it evenly over the cranberry filling.

Bake the Bars:

  • Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
  • Cool completely, then chill in the refrigerator before cutting into squares.

Store and Serve:
