– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 3 cups fresh raspberries

5. – Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
6. – Spread half the dough into the prepared baking pan, pressing it down evenly.
7. – Arrange the fresh raspberries in a single layer over the dough.
8. – Crumble the remaining dough over the top of the raspberries.
9. – Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the raspberries are bubbling.

Notes
– For a crisper crumble topping, you can refrigerate the remaining dough before crumbling it over the raspberries.
– Substitute other berries, such as blackberries or blueberries, for the raspberries if desired.
– Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
