Cornmeal + Brown Sugar Bars w/ Plum Compote

Go ahead and ditch the candles - this recipe alone will make your home smell like fall will never leave. 

11 TB butter 

2 cups brown sugar

2 eggs 

1 ⅓ cup flour 

1 cup cornmeal 

1 tsp salt 

½ tsp cinnamon 

Plum compote - or whatever jam you have laying around (I had plums leftover so I made a quick compote) 

Using room temp butter mix it together with the brown sugar + the eggs. Then add in the rest of the ingredients, forming into a dough. Reserve ¼ of the dough. Press the rest of it into a parchment lined 9x9 and bake for 25 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Once it’s done top with 1 cup compote or jam of your choice. Sprinkle the remainder of the dough on top. Bake another 40 minutes. 

Enjoy!
