1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup old-fashioned whole-rolled oats (don’t use quick cook or instant)

Whisk in the sugars and vanilla.
Add the flour, oats, optional salt, and stir to combine.
Set aside 1 heaping cup of the oatmeal mixture.
Press remaining mixture into prepared pan. Evenly spread the raspberry preserves over the crust making sure you cover the entire crust. ( jam should be about 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch thick).
Evenly sprinkle with the reserved heaping 1 cup crumble topping mixture. (For bigger chunks, squeeze some of the mixture in your hand).
Bake for about 30 minutes or until edges are set and center has just set and is lightly golden browned.
