Creating these Tangy Raspberry Lemon Bars is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture forms a crumbly dough.
3. Press the Mixture: Evenly press the crust mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
4. Bake the Crust: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until lightly golden.
5. Make the Filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1 cup sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and combined.
6. Add Raspberries: Gently fold in the fresh raspberries into the lemon filling, taking care not to crush them.
7. Pour Filling Over Crust: Once the crust is done baking, pour the raspberry lemon filling over the hot crust.
8. Bake Again: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly browned.
9. Cool Completely: Remove from the oven and let the bars cool in the pan for about an hour on a wire rack.
10. Slice and Serve: Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar (if desired), slice into squares, and enjoy!

These steps will guide you through creating these incredible bars effortlessly, ensuring a delicious result every time.
