Time 35m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (18 1/4 ounce) package yellow cake mix
2 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats, divided
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 (10 ounce) jar seedless black raspberry preserves
1 teaspoon water
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 and grease a 9X13 pan.
  • In a large bowl, mix the cake mix, 2 cups of the oats, butter, applesauce, and vanilla. Add the remaining oats a little at a time until the mixture just starts to form big clumps. (Discard the rest.).
  • In a separate bowl, mix the preserves, water, and lemon juice. Press 1/2 the crust dough in the pan. Slather on the preserve mixture, keeping away from the very edges so the fruit doesn't burn. Sprinkle remaining crust mixture on top.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, until the top crust is lightly browned.
