Let me tell you about the day these Lemon Crumb Bars saved my sanity. It was the middle of a heatwave, my AC was on the fritz, and I was desperately craving something refreshing. That’s when I remembered my grandma’s old recipe box.
Tucked between her famous apple pie and a questionable jello mold recipe, I found this gem. One bite, and I was transported back to her sunny kitchen, watching her zest lemons with practiced ease.
