German Quark Crumb Bars

These bars are delicious! They have a crumbly topping and a cheesecake-like filling on the inside - what's not to like!

Preheat oven to 350f mix the ingredients under the quark filling section and set aside.

Blend crumb topping ingredients with a pastry blender.

Measure out 2 1 / 2 cups of crumbs.

Pat into a greased 13x9 glass baking dish.

Pat crumbs up about 1 / 2 inch up sides of baking dish.

Bake at 350f for 10-12 minutes.

Pour quark mixture over baked crust.

Sprinkle remaining crumb mixture evenly over quark layer.

Pat down very lightly.

Bake 30-35 minutes.

Cool before cutting.
