Sour Cream Raisin Bars

These Sour Cream Raisin Bars are moist and easy to make. They remind me of eating a Sour Cream Raisin Pie that my mom used to make instead of making an actual pie.. 

Ingredients

2 c. raisins
1 c. white sugar
3 eggs, beaten
2 1/2 Tbs. cornstarch
1 1/2 c. sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking soda
1 c. brown sugar
1 3/4 c. oatmeal
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 3/4 c. flour
1 c. margarine or butter, softened

Directions

Preheat oven to350°.  Grease and flour the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch pan.

In a medium saucepan, combine raisins, granulated sugar, eggs, cornstarch, sour cream, and cinnamon together. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook and stir over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. 

Stir in the vanilla. Set aside as you prepare the filling.

In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, oatmeal, baking soda, flour, salt and butter. Mix until thoroughly blended. 

Press two thirds of the crust mixture in the bottom of your prepared pan. 

Bake for about 5 to 7 minutes.  

Carefully smooth this over the top of the crust. 

Sprinkle the remaining third of the crust over the top of the filling.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. 

Allow the bars to cool before cutting.
